About AVG Antivirus Free (Legacy)

AVG Free Antivirus has been available since 2001 and became one of the most popular free antivirus tools in India. Newer versions from 2016 onwards became significantly heavier on system resources. Users with older PCs running Windows 7 or Windows 10 on budget hardware frequently search for older lightweight versions of AVG.

Why was it discontinued?

AVG is still actively developed. Older versions are sought for performance reasons on low-spec hardware.
