AVG Protection Plans for Home Users

AVG offers several protection options. They vary from a basic free antivirus to the most comprehensive package that shields your devices, data, and your privacy in full.

AVG AntiVirus Free

AVG AntiVirus Free incorporates AVG's next-generation machine learning and artificial intelligence that protect you from viruses, spyware, phishing sites, ransomware, and other types of malware in real-time – all for Free. With real-time security updates, AVG scans for both malware and performance issues, and even catches malicious downloads before they reach your device. Do not disturb mode helps you stop distracting notifications from popping up on your screen when you’re gaming, watching movies, or presenting in fullscreen. AVG AntiVirus Free includes triple protection, against Mac, PC and mobile viruses. It automatically updates to the new version to protect you from the latest threats. It is always on, but in a quiet mode because Resident Shield runs quietly in the background. It provides online protection as it blocks malicious websites, and dangerous emails and downloads. AVG AntiVirus Free is for personal and family use only. It is not for business or commercial use.

AVG AntiVirus Free – Main Features

The main features of AVG AntiVirus Free are:

• Advanced Antivirus
  Thoroughly scans your computer in real-time for viruses, ransomware, spyware, worms, Trojans, rootkits, and other malware.
• Behavior Shield
  Sniffs out suspicious software behavior to protect you from 0-day threats, malicious apps, and hidden keyloggers.
• CyberCapture
  Analyzes unknown, potentially malicious files in the cloud. If they’re a threat, AVG will push out a cure to all its users via a security update.

AVG Internet Security

AVG Internet Security is a more comprehensive security solution than the above free antivirus service. Besides the basic protection, this security package provides enhanced firewall that blocks hackers from penetrating through and stealing your personal info and files. Privacy protection is further enhanced by built-in webcam protection that stops peeping Toms from using your PC webcam to spy on you. Further, AVG's Sensitive Data Shield stops spyware from snooping through private documents on your PC. Updates are automatically pushed to you as soon as they’re available, so you always have the latest virus definitions, bug fixes, security updates, and new features. AVG Internet Security also includes ransomware protection.

Saving passwords in your web browser has always been convenient, but never safe — until now.
