AVG Antivirus Review

AVG antivirus has a modern minimalist interface that is simple to use. It displays the device’s status, with clear messages telling you the virus definitions that are up-to-date and if it is active. AVG will scan your external storage for malware and other threats. It also performs a optimization of performance to speed up your system through the elimination of junk files and improving battery life.

The premium plans of AVG provide more robust features that offer a better overall security experience. For instance, the paid plan offers anti-ransomware protection to keep your data and files safe from hackers who attempt to extort money through stealing your device. Furthermore, AVG Ultimate includes web and email protection to stop attacks like phishing and spam. A file shredder is also included as is a secure banking and webcam protection.

The free features available to AVG users are the photo vault, which stores images in a secure format, and a cleaner that optimizes Android devices by removing unnecessary files. A majority of the other features of AVG are only available to paid subscribers. This includes an identity protection feature that checks passwords that have been leaked and the capability to remotely locate a stolen phone, as well as more sophisticated anti-theft tools, such as cameras that secretly snaps a picture of any person who attempts to take the device.

AVG’s strong security against malware is backed by a stellar record in the AV-Test monthly tests. This includes a flawless score in the most recent test that was carried out between March and April this year.
