It is believed that around 20 million users of AVG’s free anti-virus software will lose their protection on February 18 because they have not downloaded the next version.
Grisoft, the company behind the software warned users of its free anti-virus package last year that the software was being upgraded; users need to download the new edition, version 7.5.
Anyone still on version 7.1 of the free software will find that it stops working on February 18, the cut-off date set by Grisoft.
The company said that of the 45 million people across the world who use its free edition, roughly half are still using the old version, and will not be protected from new viruses after the cut-off date.
This could have major side-effects, such as allowing virus writers to target unprotected AVG users and take over their PCs to be used for sending further viruses or carry out other criminal activity.
Unlike normal upgrades, which are downloaded and installed automatically by the program, the new edition requires a complete reinstallation.
A representative of Grisoft said that because the new version includes large files, it is easier for users to download it from the website.

Computer Virus and Antivirus
Antivirus softwares also provide scanning of a particular hard disk or other drives, whenever a user wants it, or when they are scheduled to do it. The antivirus scans the disks and automatically removes any virus, if detected while scanning.
Generally, the e-mails are the chief responsible of spreading viruses to different parts of the world. The antivirus software scans all the e-mails before opening them and destroys the viruses, if any.

Since the viruses are continuously developed, an anitivirus program can search for updates that are available, and automatically updates itself.

AVG FREE
AVG Anti-Virus Free 8.0's protection is nearly as good as that of the top for-pay antivirus and antispyware products. Scanning of search links for dangerous pages is an added bonus. And as long as it's for your personal home use, it's free!
THREATFIRE
Your standard signature-based anti-malware utility catches most things that attack your computer. ThreatFire offers supplemental protection against zero-day attacks that are too new to have a signature. It's a fine, free addition to your security arsenal.
AVAST 4.8 HOME EDITION
Its virus protection isn't far behind that of the top antivirus products. It removes spyware nearly as well as the top antispyware, and its resident protection against new infestation is excellent. This is some seriously impressive protection, considering that it's free for personal use.
