Major flaws - AVG Antivirus:
-
Terrible virus detection rate
-
Doesn't update their virus definition files very often
(monthly intervals, should be twice a week)
-
Deletes infected files without warning. This is especially
bad if the file didn't contain a virus after all (a false positive).
-
Very low on scripts, backdoors and trojans.
