Bitdefender was not tested. Yet that's about it. To check AVG AntiVirus Free's impact on system performance, we used our custom benchmark test, which measures how long a CPU takes to match 20, names and addresses in an Excel spreadsheet. Before we installed AntiVirus Free, the computer finished the benchmark task in That completion time rose to 14 seconds after AVG was installed but before a scan was run. That equals a passive performance loss of 5. This makes AVG one of the slowest scanners among free antivirus products.
Worse yet, that scan time doesn't decrease as the program gets to know your system over time. CPU performance slowed by 7. That's the second-smallest full-scan impact of all five free programs we examined, after Kaspersky Security Cloud Free's 5. AVG's Computer Scan is similar to a quick scan. It took 1 minute and 36 seconds to finish, making it one of the fastest in the free-antivirus group. It took our benchmark test That's a lot more than Kaspersky Security Cloud Free's 1.

Like many free antivirus programs, AVG's tech support is minimalist, without email or phone assistance. All help comes via the online forums. AVG AntiVirus Free can be customized in just about every aspect: how it works, what it scans for and whether you want to be interrupted.
Yet its luxury items are few and far between, except for a powerful file shredder and a performance scanner. If you don't want to manage antivirus software but you still want to do better than Microsoft Defender, try Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition. Otherwise, Kaspersky Security Cloud Free offers unbeatable malware protection and a feature list nearly as long as Avast's.
