AVG Antivirus Review

AVG is a dependable tool with a wide range of features, good security against malware and excellent performance in a variety of tests. The free version is limited in features, while the premium version provides more options such as an optimization tool for devices and VPN.

The software’s malware scanner uses machine learning and heuristic analysis to find and eliminate any potential dangers, such as trojans rootkits and cryptojackers. It also protects you Resources from ransomware attacks, phishing and suspicious websites. AVG’s smart scanners are swift and complete. They show a list of “advanced problems” that you can fix immediately, including items that require password protection, a vulnerable firewall, or a webcam that is not secured. It’s a bit more aggressive than other high-quality antivirus programs in this regard, and it will prompt you to buy its paid version by clicking on any of these issues.

Its AV Test results are generally excellent. It detected and protected 100% of malware in March and April 2022 testing. However its ability to detect 0-day attacks is not as good as the other top-rated products I’ve tested, and it sometimes slows down the system.

The free version includes email and website protection, identity theft monitoring for leaked passwords and photo vaults, and the free AVG Cleaner utility assists in speeding up devices by removing junk files. The premium version improves security features, including ransomware and webcam protection, safer banking and an enhanced firewall. It also includes a performance tuning that increases the speed of your computer and increases battery, and an VPN to protect your privacy online.
