AVG antivirus is a modern user interface that is simple and simple to use. It provides a summary of your device's performance, with clear messages indicating if its virus definitions are up-to-date and if it is active. AVG also checks for malware and other threats to storage devices, and also performs an enhancement of performance to improve the speed of your system by removing junk data and improving the life of your battery.

The premium plans of AVG provide more robust features that provide an overall better security experience. The paid plan, for example provides anti-ransomware protection to protect your files and data from hackers who steal money through stealing your device. AVG Ultimate also includes web and email security to guard against spam and phishing. Additional features include a file shredder, safer banking and protection against webcams.

Some of the free features available to AVG users is a photo vault that stores photos in encrypted format and an optimizer that helps Android devices by removing junk files. However, the majority of the other features are available only to paying subscribers. This includes an identity-protection function that detects leaks of passwords and the ability to remotely locate lost phones, as well more advanced antitheft tools such as a camera trap which secretly captures photos of anyone trying to steal the device.

AVG's malware protection is supported by a strong record in AV Test's monthly tests. This includes a perfect score in the most recent test, which was conducted in March and April of this year.
