This webpage will walk you through installing the AVG free Anti-Virus program.

AVG is a free anti-virus program. It's pretty easy to install, use and can be selected to update and scan your computer automaticly. It does not use alot of your CPU or memory and has a very good reputation of detecting and killing viruses.
You will have to download AVG from the internet. This is a link to their website. Save the file to your desktop.



Double click on the AVG install on your desktop.

An open file-security warning will pop up. Click "run".

Welcome to the AVG free set up program. Click "next".

Acceptance notice. Click "accept".

Now we get a legal notice. read it if you want but you have to click "accept" to proceed.

Now it will check the system status. The next screen will have you select the installation type.
Leave it on "standard installation" and click "next"
.

The next screen is the license activation screen. Since it is pretty much meaningless because this is a free product, click "next".

The next screen will ask you if you want to install the AVG security toolbar.
Since I hate toolbars I uncheck this and click "next".

Now we are being asked when we would like AVG to automatically scan your computer for threats.
You can change the time of day if you want but I usually leave it at the defaults and click "next".
