AVG Technologies heeft versie 2012 van AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition uitgebracht. Deze gratis versie van AVG's antivirusprogramma beschermt even goed tegen virussen, maar moet het in vergelijking met zijn betaalde broer, AVG Anti-Virus Pro, onder meer zonder social-networkbescherming stellen en ontvangt zijn updates met een lagere prioriteit.
