Description

AVG AntiVirus delivers proven antivirus capabilities for Windows, macOS, and Android. You find it available as a freemium product that includes basic real-time scanning, web protection, and phishing safeguards. The free version protects you from common malware, while premium tiers add firewall, ransomware protection, and enhanced privacy controls.

You benefit from AVG’s legacy: its free edition boosted its awareness and reach worldwide, and today it counts over 200 million active users across platforms :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}. That user base helps drive continuous improvements and swift detection updates.

Features such as LinkScanner offer real-time protection against malicious links, and the product integrates frequently updated virus definitions to stay ahead of new threats. You enjoy automatic protection without manual intervention, ensuring complex threats are handled transparently.

AVG shares infrastructure and development with Avast under Gen Digital, so you get from both projects a shared innovation and security intelligence. That synergy amplifies their responsiveness to new digital threats.

You can start with free protection and, as your needs grow—say for parental controls or data shredder—consider AVG’s paid editions, which build upon the familiar interface.
