AVG Antivirus Review

AVG is a good choice to protect your computer from cyberattacks, boasting near-perfect malware detection scores and an extensive feature package. It also has one of the most effective firewalls I’ve ever tested an effective email and web scanner and a powerful features for optimizing your device. It isn’t parental controls, and ransomware protection is not reliable. It is also known to bog down performance, particularly on computers that aren’t as powerful.

The free version of AVG offers basic malware protection but doesn’t include an internet scanner or firewall. The basic plan includes an even more comprehensive set of features, and premium plans come with useful additional features such as a system tuning tool as well as the option of a VPN.

The mobile apps from AVG come with exclusive features that are not available in the desktop version. Android apps, for instance allows you to remotely erase and lock a phone in case it gets lost. It also comes with a photo vault which can store all of your private images and videos in a secure way. The anti-theft feature is excellent, allowing you to track the location of your phone and make it sound a siren.

AVG’s user-friendly interface features recognizable thumbnails and www.doniphanwest.org/avg-antivirus-review-2021/ headings to assist you in navigating its many features.
