Review AVG Internet Security

I’ve used AVG for many years on my computers because I trust it and it has always protected my files from malicious programs. AVG is now used by over 80 million users and remains one of the top security programs available today.

As this is your security 101 class, I won’t bore you with the details—I’ll get straight to the point. AVG protects you from:

1. Web browsing threats.
2. Targeted hacker attacks.
3. Viruses and spyware.
   

From AVG’s homepage:

AVG helps you stay safe while you shop, bank online, watch videos, search or surf the web, download music, documents and pictures, and email or chat. Every document or file you download, every web page or link you click on, is scanned by AVG before you open it. Unlike other security products, we stop the threats before they reach your hard drive and become a problem. Safe internet surfing is now possible.

AVG Internet Security also comes with a Firewall, which relies on existing data to determine whether a connection attempt is a threat.

AVG Internet Security has the following features that don’t come with AVG Free:

1. Web Shield - Screens your downloads and prevents accidental infections through IM chats.
2. Anti-Rootkit - Protection against hidden threats that deliver malicious content.
3. Identity Protection - Prevents identity theft and new and unknown malware.
4. Firewall - Stops hackers and viruses spread over the internet.
5. Anti-Spam - Catches e-mail threats including phishing, fraud and spam.
6. Free Support - Free support
