What AVG Anti-Virus Free has in speed when it comes to scanning, it lacks in other areas like the way it slows down my system because of its size. I find it too heavy even tough it is still one of the best Anti-virus software around. It is just too heavy and I wonder why the publishers have not really done anything about it. The size and the way it slows down systems are issues that have been on the lips of critics for some time now and the story is still the same.

AVG Anti-Virus offers you total security anytime you are on and offline, it also provides you wit a maximum virus protection and allows for customization to sooth your needs, free virus data base updates and technical support. AVG has one of industries most efficient virus data base making it a complete security suite.

AVG Anti-Virus Free 9.0.707a1765 is available free and even though I agree that there are other free anti-virus out there that works just as good and will not slow down your system, I still think AVG even with its size does a lot of work for you when it comes to threats posed by viruses.

This program has been around for a while and it has won my recognition for its best performance in terms of archiving even tough it is not a free program. WinRAR (32-bit) 3.91 Beta can compete favorably with other software in its category because it does very good work with your files.

WinRAR offers you advanced and well improved compression ratios at a very affordable price. It is so easy to install and use and does not require too much of your time to get around with some of its basic features. It also offers supporting long time files, disk spanning and self extracting file creation to make it worth the buy.

There are other archiving softwares or programs that are brought to you as freeware, but they don’t compare to dependability and performance of WinRAR which like I said earlier has been around for some time and is as good as ever. Some may ague that why pay for a software like WinRAR when you can equally get other software programs that performs the same function; well my view is that this one is in a class of its own. I actually compared it with programs such as: 7z, PAC and the likes of them and I think this one stands out.
