AVG has a dazzling feature set, solid malware protection, and solid performance in a variety of tests. The free version has a limited number of options, while the premium version offers more options, including a device optimization tool and VPN.
The malware scanner software utilizes machine learning and heuristic analyses to identify and remove any potential threats, including trojans cryptojackers and rootkits. It also guards against ransomware, phishing attacks, and suspicious websites by blocking downloads. AVG’s smart scans are quick and thorough, and they show a variety of “advanced issues” that you can solve now, such as sensitive objects that need to be protected with passwords, a vulnerable webcam or a weak firewall. It’s more aggressive than some other top-quality antivirus programs in this respect. If you click on any of these issues, it will prompt you to purchase the paid version.
The AV-Test test results are generally good as it detected and protected against 100% of malware in the March and April 2022 tests. However its performance in detecting 0-day attacks isn’t as good as some of the other top-rated products I’ve tested, and it can slow down the system.
The free version offers email and web security identity theft monitoring for leaked passwords and features for vaulting photos, and the free AVG Cleaner utility speeds up devices by deleting junk files. The premium version comes with webcam security and ransomware protection as well as secure banking and firewall. It also comes with a performance tuning feature that increases the speed of your computer’s performance and boosts battery, and an VPN for online privacy.
