AVG Internet Security

Description

AVG Internet Security (1 User | 3 Years) now comes with new Webcam Protection and Ransomware Protection features to secure your personal files — and your private life. Its features include:

 

Advanced Antivirus

Thoroughly scans every corner of your computer (and any drives connected to it) in real-time for viruses, ransomware, spyware, worms, Trojans, rootkits, and other malware. You can even schedule whole-computer scans for those times you won’t even be at your computer.

 

Enhanced Firewall

Effortlessly bounces hackers, criminals, and snoopers who try sneaking onto your PC/Mac to steal your private files, photos, & passwords. Works on both wired and wireless networks.

 

Ransomware Protection

Walls off your personal photos, documents, and files from malicious encryption. And it takes malware protection one step further, by giving you total control over which apps can change or delete your files.

 

Webcam Protection

Worried that someone might be spying on you through your webcam? Force untrusted apps to get your permission before using it, or even disable it for good.

 

AI Detection

Uses advanced artificial intelligence on your computer to proactively identify malware samples that haven’t yet been catalogued by our ThreatLabs team.

 

PUA Scanner

Scans for potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) that you may have unknowingly downloaded (e.g., adware and other malicious applications bundled with downloaded software).

 

CyberCapture

Cloud-based technology helps stop even the newest malware variants and outbreaks in real-time. Anytime our antivirus encounters an unknown threat, it uploads it to our ThreatLabs team for analysis. They’ll then send out a cure to all our millions of users via a security update.

 

Turbo Scan

Dramatically shortens scanning times by intelligently skipping files it already knows are safe (i.e., files unchanged since they were last scanned).

 

Behaviour Shield

Like an alert watchdog, this feature works in real-time to sniff out suspicious behaviour of any software running on your computer and warn you if anything is amiss. This helps protect against 0-day threats, malicious programs, and even keyloggers that secretly record typed passwords and bank account details.

 

Real-Time Updates

Ensures that your security is always up-to-date by pushing virus definitions, bug fixes, security updates, and new features to you as they become available.

 

Do Not Disturb Mode

Whether you’re gaming, watching movies, or presenting, as long as you’re doing it fullscreen, Do Not Disturb Mode keeps notifications at bay, blocking distracting and potentially embarrassing popups from 3rd-party apps, Windows, and even our own AVG AntiVirus and AVG Internet Security.

 

Silent Mode

Postpones AVG scans, updates, and popups to avoid interrupting you while you’re working, playing games, or watching videos. (Unlike Do Not Disturb Mode, Silent Mode only affects AVG AntiVirus FREE and AVG Internet Security.)

 

Email Shield

Blocks dangerous email attachments to prevent you from falling victim to fake emails or friends who may have unknowingly forwarded you malware.

 

Link Scanner

Helps you avoid dangerous websites by scanning clicked links for threats and warning you of anything suspicious. This works for any link on the Internet, including those on Facebook® and Twitter®.

 

Web Shield

Scans downloaded files before they reach your computer to protect you against hidden malware.

 

Wi-Fi Guard

Helps you avoid malicious hotspots used by hackers by warning you when you connect to an unsecure Wi-Fi network.

 

Toolbar Remover

Helps clean up your browser by removing unwanted or potentially dangerous browser toolbars and extensions that may have been installed without your permission.

 

File Shredder

Did you know that files deleted from your Recycle Bin can still be recovered? File Shredder securely deletes data to help prevent unintended or unauthorized recovery.

 

Anti-Spam

We block spam, scams, and malicious phishing emails to keep your inbox cleaner and help stop you from giving your passwords and credit card numbers to the bad guys.

 

Fake Website Shield

Helps you avoid fake websites so you don’t unknowingly give criminals your passwords, credit card numbers, and other personal data.
