Why you need complete Internet security
Searching the web? Surfing? Chatting? Downloading?
If the answer is yes then we strongly recommend that you upgrade to AVG Internet security. If you are interested in more details about your security, please go through the list below and check which protection you do and do not have.
Protection levels
Anti-Virus & Anti-Spyware
The foundation of your protection. Without antivirus and antispyware protection, your computer and data are at extreme risk.
Safe Downloads & Instant Messaging
The essential protection for Internet use. File downloads, chatting with your friends and family - today these are everyday things. Protecting yourself in these areas is now another important part of your security and privacy protection.
AVG Free does not contain the new Safe Downloads & Instant Messaging protection (Web Shield technology) so it does not screen your downloads and communication for viruses and spyware.
For this protection, please download AVG Internet SecuritySafe Search & Surf
The essential protection for Internet use. New web threats (called exploits or drive-by downloads) can infect your computer just by visiting a web page! Our new technology ensures the safety of search results, web pages, favorites & bookmarks before you open them.
AVG Free only includes the Safe Search protection which provides you with advice on search results. It does not protect against infected pages. Only AVG paid versions contain the Safe Surf technology.
