It offers no protection against anything these days. Two times last week I had to deal with a tinyproxy.exe infection which takes McAfee out as a side effect and leaves this system vulnerable.
How can AVG not meet the security requirements for any workplace? It's autoupdating, scans as often as you set it to, has a small memory footprint, once installed has no issues like McAfee does (except if you run an SP1/2 system as Dummy pointed out) and it's free for personal use. Free is in some cases better than paid. I back up AVG with Spybot, SAS and Defender plus Windows Firewall. Keeps the system clean and is more protected than a machine running McAfee.
Still, it could be worse. You could be forced to use Trend Micro, the single worst security application around (next to Norton) where its favourite trick is to block everything, includig itself, from accessing the net after an update, IP address change or for no reason at all. And Trend push the vault thingy part of the program - I wouldn't trust it with my life.
