AVG Antivirus Overview
AVG is a long-standing security product for Windows, well known for its free antivirus, now part of the same company as Avast (Gen Digital) and sharing the same detection engine. The free edition provides core real-time protection against viruses and other malware, while paid tiers add a firewall, ransomware protection, web and email shields, and privacy tools. AVG presents a straightforward interface aimed at everyday users who want effective protection without complexity. It uses a freemium model. It also offers a file shredder for securely deleting sensitive documents, a Wi-Fi network scanner, and a behavior shield that flags suspicious program activity, with performance-tuning tools in higher tiers to keep the PC responsive.
