AVG Free

AVG Free

AVG Free for Linux is a commercial-grade antivirus product. It can be used on a single computer and is intended for private, non-commercial use only.

AVG Free can be run entirely from the command prompt but there is also a graphical front end available. Using the command line offers some extras such as creating a report file, while updates are easy to apply and can be scheduled.

The graphical user interface is both efficient and simple, and it can be used even by inexperienced Linux system users.
