AVG is the go to suite of protection, cleaning, and safety solutions for all my devices. Getting the premium subscription is definitely worth it when looking to protect multiple devices of various types. We currently use it on all 3 of the types of OS in our home Windows PC, Android, and iPhone. Easy to use and install, setup for regular auto checks is ready to go and keep everything all tuned up!

Junk it is constantly closing on its own. If the free version is doing this constantly the paid version must be trash. I got the free version to test it out to see if it helps. So far it doesn't help at all. I keep getting sent to bad sites it doesn't stay active at all . Every 5 minutes I have to re-enable it. I'm deleting pos and going to mcfee

They should tell you better what exactly you get for your money upfront! I purchased this thinking I was getting a good deal, turns out that's not the case! For this app to provide everything most competitors offer in one app with their subscription; AVG requires you download a half dozen separate applications and pay for each service separate. That's insane! I should of stuck with the prior security I was using. AVG appears to work, but it feels like the application just doing a lot nothing.

Hi, AVG AntiVirus is a complete product - an anti-virus app with extra features to ensure your privacy and security. The other AVG products serve different purposes, we inform our users of their availability, but installation is optional and is not related to malware protection. I hope the explanation helps.
