This lesson will step you through downloading and installing AVG Free Anti-Virus software on a Windows computer.
Click here to visit the Tucows AVG download page then click on the Download Now button.
You can either choose to Run the installation file automatically or you can Save it to a folder on your computer and open it manually to start the installation wizard.
After running the installation file, the AVG setup program will be launched. Choose your language and click Next.
Click on Install under Anti-Virus Free.
Click Next.
Wait for the installation file download to complete.
Accept the license agreement then click Next.
Wait for system status check.
You can either choose the standard or custom installation type. In this tutorial, I am going to choose custom. Click Next.
Click Next.
Click Next again.
Click Yes.
During a customized installation you can choose which components will be installed. I've unchecked plugins for The Bat! and Microsoft Outlook because I do not use those programs. If you have Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Office installed, I recommend selecting those components.
Click Next.
Uncheck the AVG Security Toolbar if you do not want AVG to add its own tools to your computer's web browsers. Click Next.
Click Next.
Wait for AVG to complete installation.
Click Finish. AVG has now been installed!
After completing installation, AVG will give you the option to scan your computer and set up scheduled scans.
