AVG Antivirus Review

AVG is a powerful tool with a wide range of features, good security against malware, and excellent performance in countless tests. The free version has couple of drawbacks, while the premium version comes with additional features such as the device optimization tool and VPN.

The malware scanner of the software uses machine learning and heuristics in order to identify and eliminate any potential threats, including trojans rootkits as well as Cryptojackers. It also protects against threats like phishing attacks, ransomware and unsafe websites by blocking downloads. The smart scanners of AVG are fast and complete. They display a number “advanced issues” that you can fix immediately, including items that require password protection, a weak firewall, or a camera that is not protected. It’s more aggressive than other top-quality antivirus software in this respect and will prompt you to purchase its paid version in the event that you click on one of these issues.

The AV-Test results are generally high, and it detected and protected against 100% of the malware in the March and April 2022 tests. Its performance in detecting zero-day malware is lower than that of the top-rated products that I’ve tested. It is also prone to slowing down the system.

The free version comes with email and web security identity theft monitoring of passwords that were leaked Photo vaulting, and AVG Cleaner, which can help speed up your device through the elimination of unnecessary data. The premium version offers webcam security and ransomware protection as well as secure banking and a firewall. It Resources also includes a performance tuning feature that increases the speed of your PC and helps extend battery life, as well as an VPN for online privacy.
