After a consistent installation method, I found AVG’s inviting user interface very easy to navigate. It displays the five primary areas of proper protection and offers a clean design with a quick access menu and links to My AVG, which is mainly upgrade pitches; a Settings option to open a customizable screen that shows you how often AVG scans the device; a Quarantine and File Shredder feature; and a Help section hire professional cleaning services with direct link to technology support.

AVG’s malware recognition scores were near ideal in our medical tests. Its additional security features include a effective web and email reader, an improved firewall that detects network vulnerabilities, phishing protection, and a device marketing tool. The free release is a bit hefty on upselling with daily popups for AVG add-ons that aren’t included in the offer, but they have still one of the best free anti-virus programs obtainable.

I as well liked AVG’s mobile apps. The Android app can track your device’s location, appear a siren to locate it if you lose it, and slightly lock or wipe its data about demand. AVG’s anti-theft feature is especially impressive, as some competition antiviruses don’t have this kind of capability.

AVG offers a 30-day free trial for the Internet Security plan for Windows, and an extended 60-day trial just for Mac equipment. When your trial expires, you may cancel the subscription online or perhaps through the iphone app. I like that AVG is extremely clear about the conditions of the free and paid programs, but it may improve it is customer service by simply expanding its contact methods beyond live chat.
