New AVG: Version 9 faster, 2-year free subscription

October 5th, 2009

AVG is making some bold claims for these updates. The company is touting scan times that are “up to 50 percent” faster, based on marking files safe until their file structure changes,and boot times that are “10 to 15 percent” faster. Memory usage is also expected to be “10 to 15 percent” better, as well. The built-in firewall, available only in the Internet Security version, uses a new database for automatically determining if certain programs are safe to access the Internet without user input. This trusted database, called TrustedDB by AVG, should be less intrusive by querying for user input 50 percent less often than in the previous version, says AVG. Also, the installation process has been shortened from 22 screens to 11.

In hands-on testing last week, I found AVG to be relatively easy to navigate around, although the interface could be simpler.
