Normal Free Edition would be the one to download as the Premium Protection Edition forces you to fill in offers from TrialPay (which requires use of Credit Card details, as well as requiring you to pay for further antivirus protection after one year)

Ok thankyou

Just installed the 9.0 avg but now my windows defender popped up to say it has been turned off? Why did this happen?

[URL="javascript:%20togglefaq(2672);"]Windows Defender is automatically turned off during installation[/URL]


Please note that Windows Defender is only disabled and not removed from the computer.
This is important to prevent conflicts between AVG and Windows Defender. As they are both security applications, they will try to check files you are working with. Since they will do that at the same time, conflicts may arise. These can cause freezing, crashes or slowdown of computer. It is generally not recommend to use more than one security product on one computer.

My opinion is that MalwareByte is a better option than AdAware, Spybot is also a good option as it can scan for things that MalwareBytes may have missed. Having both Spybot and MalwareBytes rather than AdAware would be my opinion.

Do you have the link for downloading MalwareBytes & Spybot? Thanks
