Yes it is. But according to what their website has said or says, they will be no longer providing the free AVG in the very near future.

7.1 is being discontinued. If you use the link (http://free.grisoft.com), then you can get the new one which is also free (7.5).

Go with AVG .. Blinding Program.
Firewall is Zonealarm (Free)
Spyware Killer is Spybot Search-and-Destroy (Free)

None of them cause as much Lag as Norton !!
