AVG Internet Security Review

AVG internet security offers a comprehensive set of tools to keep your computer safe. However, it isn’t able to stand out from the competition. The smart scan is superb, as it checks for many issues like unsafe browser extensions, as well as insecure web pages that can be used as gateways to malware. However, it is not as effective of its competitors in other areas like detecting fake websites that try to take your information.

The software is easy to install and use, with a simple interface that looks great on any device and functions well regardless of whether or not you have a touchscreen or not. The five protections that come in the full version – Computer, Web & Email, Hacker Attacks, Privacy and Payments are grouped together into simple categories on the main dashboard. They are further separated into sub-categories such as webcam and password protection.

You can upgrade to premium support for your phone or TuneUp tools for a small fee for additional features. There’s a version with a VPN that is included for an additional fee.

The upselling is quite aggressive and regardless of the plan you select certain features aren’t available unless you upgrade to the higher-tier product. For instance, if opt for the free version of AVG Internet Security you’ll be encouraged to install Google Chrome and AVG SafePrice. Review the terms and conditions before downloading any software. You could end up having something that is not as powerful as you thought.
