AVG Technologies heeft een update voor 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 sociale-netwerkbescherming stellen en ontvangt zijn updates met een lagere prioriteit. Daarnaast mag het natuurlijk niet in commerciële omgevingen worden gebruikt. Sinds versie 2012.1913 zijn de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen aangebracht:
