Grisoft recently released the free version of their latest Anti-Virus software. AVG has always been my favourite anti-virus suite because it’s light weight, yet still scores well against the expensive solutions.
However, something I used to do when installing the old 7.5 version was to untick Email scanner and Resident Shield. The E-mail scanner was pointless to have installed because I don’t use local email. The Resident Shield, which scans files when they manipulated in anyway, is important for some but for people who are extremely careful it just slows down your system.
In 8.0, the Resident Shield cannot be unticked during installation and while it can be disabled from within AVG there is no way to ignore its status, which means AVG is constantly reporting that there’s a problem.
This is very disappointing. Hopefully they add the option to ignore the status of each component in a future update.
