AVG internet protection offers a comprehensive set of tools to protect your computer. However, it has a difficult time to stand out from the competition. The smart scan is great and checks for many issues like unsafe browser extensions and unsecure websites that could be used as gateways to malware. It falls short in some areas, like identifying fake websites that attempt to steal your data.
The program is simple to install and use, with an easy interface that looks fantastic on any device, and works great regardless of whether you have a touchscreen or not. The five security features included with the complete package – Computer, Web & Email, Hacker Attacks, Privacy and Payments – are brought together into simple categories on the main dashboard. They are further subdivided into sub-categories, like password protection and webcam protection.
You can upgrade to premium phone support or TuneUp tools for a small fee for additional features. There’s even a version that comes with an VPN for a small cost.
The upselling is quite aggressive and regardless of the plan you choose some features are not available until you upgrade to the more expensive product. For instance, if you choose the free version of AVG Internet Security, you’ll be encouraged to install Google Chrome and AVG SafePrice. You should always check the terms and conditions of any software you download, in case you end up with a suite that has far less capability than what you initially expected.
