Protect the Computer

AVG Antivirus is one of the most popular antivirus programs.

AVG Antivirus is very popular with private users because the program is available in a free version, and because the free version is often included on the computer magazine's CDs. However, the free version does have some limitations, which you can read about on the page Technical Info.

Easy to use

The standard settings are sufficient for most users, which is making it possible to install and forget the program. However, if you do want to change a setting you can easily do so in the advanced settings. The advanced settings are divided in different categories, making it easy to find and change the desired settings.

Virus, Spyware, Rootkits...

As you can guess from the name, AVG Antivirus will protect you against viruses. However, today many new dangers lurk on the Internet, which is why AVG Antivirus does much more than just protect you against viruses.

AVG Antivirus will protect you against spyware programs that will try to see what you are doing and then report to the maker of the spyware. AVG Antivirus will protect you against rootkits that will try to hide deep in your Windows from where they will try to steal your log in codes to your online bank, or try to remote control your computer. In addition, AVG Antivirus will warn you about fake and malicious websites, even before you enter them.

Game Mode

AVG Antivirus has a special Game Mode, which will turn off warnings while you are playing games in full screen mode, that way you will be able to play without interruption. AVG Antivirus itself will of course not be turned off, only the warnings. You will also be protected while playing.
