AVG AntiVirus Free is a quality Anti-Virus proven by over 200 million users, who have used this software suite and the accompanying cloud services to protect PCs, Macs, mobile phones, and tablets against any kind of online threat. It even has integrated anti-theft tools that will enable you to locate your stolen hardware.
It continues to deliver essential free antivirus protection with the launch of the software. It goes beyond simply detecting and removing viruses on your PC by blocking infected links as you browse, checking files before they're downloaded, and helping protect your personal data online and on your PC with enhanced privacy features.
It has improved the core engine and its accuracy and included a new cloud-based detection method. And because security is just as important as usability, AntiVirus Free features a revamped, easier-to-use design.
Features and Highlights
Exceptional anti-virus protection

Surf and search the web safely
You want to search and surf, but you don’t ever want to go to any infected websites. It helps you out by clearly alerting you to threats and keeping you clear of them.
Share your life on Facebook, not viruses
With AVG Free protecting your system, you can chat and message your friends on Facebook and other social networks with the knowledge that each web page and link are checked for safety. You won’t pick up a malicious link from your friends - and you won’t send one either!

Deploying AVG Free to your computer is a straightforward task, as it does not require complex configurations. By launching the installer, you can select between standard or custom installation modes.
The standard mode automatically installs predefined components and follows default settings for installation paths. On the other hand, the custom mode allows experienced users to modify these parameters and is recommended for those seeking more control.
Computer, web, and email protection
Launching the antivirus software is as simple as selecting it from the management utility mentioned earlier. The main window of AVG Antivirus Free provides an overview of your system's security status, displaying available modules and offering various scan options. These scans encompass thorough system analyses, as well as targeted scans of USB/DVD drives, specific folders or files, performance issues, boot sequences, and vulnerable areas. Scheduling scans is also straightforward.
AVG Antivirus Free encompasses protection modules for your computer, web browsing, and email, providing defense against a wide range of potential threats. Computer protection safeguards against trojans, viruses, spyware, ransomware, and rootkits. The web and email protection services block unsafe links, downloaded content, and email attachments.

Whenever an unidentified threat is encountered, AVG Antivirus Free swiftly analyzes the situation, sends the collected data to AVG servers for analysis, and deploys a cure without requiring any manual intervention.
Security updates and new features are automatically delivered to ensure your program remains up-to-date, eliminating any concerns about maintaining the latest protection.
