World-class protection
We’ve won hundreds of awards since we began in 1991, and over 25 in the last two years alone. With top marks for "real world" protection and performance, you know you’re in safe hands.
Advanced Security
Advanced Antivirus
Thoroughly scans every corner of your computer (and any drives connected to it) in real-time for viruses, spyware, worms, Trojans, rootkits, and other nasty forms of malware. You can even schedule Internet Security to run whole-computer scans when you're away from your computer.
AI Detection
Uses advanced artificial intelligence on your computer to proactively identify malware samples that haven't yet been catalogued by our AVG ThreatLabs team.
Anti-Ransomware
Helps stop hackers from encrypting your private photos and files and then making you pay to unlock them.
Email Scanner & Anti-Spam
Blocks dangerous attachments and spam to protect your computer, help keep your inbox clean, and reduce your chance of falling prey to online scams.
Enhanced Firewall
Blocks hackers from accessing the private data stored on your computer. Works on both wired and wireless networks.
Link Scanner
Helps you avoid dangerous websites by scanning clicked links for threats and warning you of anything suspicious. This works for any link on the Internet, including those on Facebook® and Twitter®.
Online Shield
Scans downloaded files before they reach your computer to better protect you against hidden malware.
PUA Scanner
Scans for potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) that you may have unknowingly downloaded (e.g., adware and other malicious applications bundled with downloaded software).
Real-Time Outbreak Detection
Cloud-based technology that uses crowd intelligence to identify even the newest malware variants and outbreaks in real-time. Converts any new threat encountered by an AVG user into protection for the entire AVG community.
Software Analyzer
Like an alert watchdog, this feature works in real-time to sniff out suspicious behavior of any software running on your computer and warn you if anything is amiss. This helps protect against 0-day threats, malicious programs, and even keyloggers that secretly record typed passwords and bank account details.
WiFi Guard
Helps you avoid malicious hotspots used by hackers by warning you when you connect to an unknown WiFi network.
Data Safe
Got something you don’t want anyone else to see? Use Data Safe to encrypt and hide valuable documents, pictures, and any other files onto a password-protected virtual disk on your computer.
File Shredder
Did you know that files deleted from your Recycle Bin can still be recovered? File Shredder securely deletes data to help prevent unintended or unauthorized recovery.
No Slowdowns
Game Mode
Postpones scans and updates while you play to avoid annoying lags and freezes in your game.
Smart Scanner
Helps avoid unnecessary interruptions and slowdowns by running scheduled scans only when you’re not using your computer. As soon as you begin typing or move your mouse, Smart Scanner drops to low-priority mode to help keep everything else running smoothly.
Turboscan
Dramatically shortens scanning times by intelligently skipping files it already knows are safe (i.e., files that have not changed since they were last scanned).
