AVG Internet Security v8.0.164 : Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware, Anti-Spam, Web Protection & Firewall

The only AVG product I have used in my lifetime was an older version of AVG Anti-Virus back in 2006. To be honest I didn't like the user interface that much and it used to give a lot of false positives on key generators and program patches. However judging by online reviews and user comments, AVG has improved a lot and is considered a good security product by many users.
