avg antivirus is an antimalware application that protects against viruses, ransomware, spyware as well as phishing attacks and other threats. It also identifies potential dangersome links that appear in emails and searches websites to ensure they are safe to visit. It is available for Macs and PCs, as well as an app for mobile Android and iOS devices.

The free AVG anti-virus program includes most of the features that you would expect from a modern antivirus. It scans emails that are sent and received and scans directories and files for malicious code, and then quarantines those that are infected. It is more robust firewall than the other free options and lets you control and set rules for specific applications. It identifies public and private networks to apply a higher level of security. It also comes with numerous advanced alerts, such as port scan alerts, ARM spoofing alerts, and data leak protection.

AVG’s tools for performance tuning can help your computer speed up, clean up junk files and prolong battery life. It also allows you to update your software which will prevent them from becoming vulnerable and outdated. Premium versions of avg antivirus include additional features such as safer banking and an VPN that secures your internet browsing.

The interface of AVG is clean and simple design, with recognizable thumbnails and headings to provide an overview of what AVG is protecting you from. It’s simple to launch basic scans or any more thorough checks, but accessing other features requires an ambiguous menu system. AVG does not offer a phone support line for technical issues which is standard with other suites.
