there are a lot of antivirus programs but little programs we can depend on. AVG antivirus2015 one of this programs

Virus & Spyware Protection :
AVG scored well with most antivirus testing labs as it did with ours. Scores were average to high for both real-time antivirus protection and virus removal.
In our own tests AVG had 90% success in blocking known malicious sites. Quite respectable, though other antivirus products scored better.
Also, we saw instances with rootkit and trojan removal where AVG had trouble removing them. Rebooting a PC is not out of the ordinary with some of the particularly nasty threats we use, and AVG was no exception here, though it often required multiple reboots to finish a removal.
So why are we giving AVG Anti-Virus 2015 such a high score in this department? As a basic antivirus software, AVG still outperformed a lot of competitors in this class. If basic antivirus protection is all you want, you can expect AVG to do the job nicely
.
Resource Usage:
AVG's resource usage was impressively low. Memory usage was at a low 22MB on a 2GB memory computer. CPU usage was less than 1% when idle.
During a full PC scan, memory averaged out to approximately 45MB, and about 40% of CPU used. Not bad.
With prior versions, we saw huge resource drains both in memory and CPU. It looks like they've fixed those issues this year.
User Interface:
On the surface, AVG's user interface is clean, modern, and easy to use. Big buttons label each section making it easy to navigate. Inside each section are clear and simple switches that activate or deactivate features.
However, if you need to make more detailed adjustments to any particular feature, the advanced settings can be confusing. The text is small and seemingly jumbled together.
Clicking deeper within the expanding tree, it can be difficult to know what to select or deselect. For an average PC user, it's not ideal.
The good news is the major features that really matter are all pre-selected and enabled automatically, so you may never encounter these things we dislike.
Technical Support:
The technical support AVG offers is arguably its weakest feature. There's a searchable knowledge base with lots of good information, but getting access to full, free support from qualified technicians is invaluable.
At the end:
AVG Anti-Virus 2015 is a solid antivirus software that improves tremendously on prior versions, especially in the area of resource usage.
On top of that, it earned high scores in the majority of areas we test and was easy to use in getting the job done. Were it not for its mediocre tech support options, it may have scored even
higher.
Bottom line: AVG Anti-Virus 2015 is a good option for those needing only basic antivirus software.
AVG continues to deliver essential free antivirus protection with the launch of AVG AntiVirus 2015. It goes beyond simply detecting and removing viruses on your PC by blocking infected links as you browse, checking files before they're downloaded, and helping protect your personal data online and on your PC with enhanced privacy features. With 2015, we've improved our core engine and its accuracy, and included a new cloud-based detection method. And because we know that security is just as important as usability, AntiVirus 2015 features a revamped, easier-to-use design.
We've been hard at work optimizing our core engine to increase its detectionaccuracy. That includes better detection of screen-locker ransomware and improved scanning of all downloadable files to keep you safe from an exponentially expanding pool of threats.
And when a new online threat breaks out and spreads, the key to keeping you protected is the speed with which we can react. Our new Outbreak Detection gives us the tools to act immediately and curtail their spread. With AntiVirus 2015, you don't have to wait until the next virus-definition package is ready to be protected: the moment we know a threat's there, you're covered.
Finally, we believe security should be clean and simple to be effective, and we've put a lot of work in making sure AntiVirus 2015 is intuitive to use. Our new simplified design makes sure you know what needs your attention at a glance. Combined with our free comprehensive online support, you can be sure you're getting our best protection.
What's new in version 2015:

3 - concerning the unlabel icons they added a text with a description for this icons.
