Ok, it is still free technically (http://free.avg.com/us-en/homepage).
I used to highly recommend free AVG because it was, well free! Now they have teamed up with trialpay where you have to sign up for a trial of one of their partners before you can get to the download.
To be clear, I like AVG’s product line, for both servers and clients, I think it is really good at what it does. I purchased several licenses for a small business data center I used to run. However I find it hard to continue to recommend the free AVG tool with the condition of signing up for a trail of some other service I may not want. I understand their model, but I am not in favor of it when I have choices.
Microsoft Security Essentials to the rescue. I have been running it on my Windows 7 desktop and laptop and it seems to work just fine. Check it out here
