You get a highly secure defense. Abundant operations management tools

4.0 3 years ago

Comments: There is no need to install a separate asset management tool, as there are many operation management tools and functions that are included in the antivirus software. Restart, shutdown, messaging, remote assistance in an interactive mode similar to LapLink, and optional WSUS functionality and third-party software updates can be managed. The preview includes all options. The function to forcibly run a virus scan when an external media, such as a USB stick, is loaded into the device is very useful. It is also possible to configure the prohibition to cancel the scan operation by the user. The execution of external media scanning is forced.

Pros:

A full scan after installation removes and quarantines unknown objects in AVG Internet Security Business Edition and copies them to the Administration Server backup area. Configure the detected save hierarchy to scan the exclusion area and restore files from the backup copy. Send the sample to AVG site. The file is quickly verified in the lab and, if it is a false positive, it will be added to the global distribution of the definition database for the next distribution. The distribution of the definition database takes place several times a day and is reflected by the next day at the latest. False detection itself is considered to be problematic, but it appears that other methods are difficult to judge whether an object with few users is safe in the first place. Thorough checks are performed with a policy of detecting even the most unknown or suspicious. A full scan of another company's product may not detect it and AVG does. It is believed that a very secure defense can be obtained from the previous analysis.

Cons:

It is difficult for Support Online to get the necessary items by itself. Searching the site is not very helpful, so I ask the support center for some. About every two years, the software with the end of support notice needs to be updated. You can also use the function to distribute version updates automatically from AVG, but if you have a device connected to the Internet, you can use this method without problems, but for system reasons, you can use it in a closed environment.

AVG is one of the best anti virus software to keep my data and browsing searches safe

4.0 9 months ago

Pros:

What I like the most about AVG internet security business edition was that it was very easy to navigate and set up. I've been using AVG for 15 years for personal use so using the AVG for business edition was just as easy and made me feel comfortable and safe when using it for more business safety issues. Making me feel confident when using certain data, invoices and payment management extensions. I felt like AVG was keeping me and my customers safe from any viruses or bugs.

Cons:

What I like least about AVG internet security business edition is the price was a little high. But compared to other antivirus softwares it was a good price so I really didn't mind considering how well it protected my computer and information.

Requires optimization

3.0 4 years ago

Comments: AVG was a must-have back in the earlier days of the Internet, where built in antivirus protection didn't exist. Nowadays, I feel AVG will have to put a lot of work into improving their virus detection strategy to use less resources.

Pros:

As an anti-virus software, AVG works well at its job. AVG has saved me from downloading/executing malicious content a couple of times years back, which saved me a lot of headache.

Cons:

While AVG was a powerful anti-virus software in the 2000s to early 2010s, today most modern operating systems come with their own anti-virus protection. The most compelling reason to use built-in antivirus software is the level of optimization. I have found that AVG would occasionally suck up all my PC's resources to perform scans, which caused me a lot of frustration. This makes the performance to protection tradeoff extremely hard to justify. I think if AVG would be able to optimize their program to require less resources than Windows Defender, it would be significantly easier for me to recommend.

avg is solid anti virus

5.0 10 months ago

Comments: all in all it was a solid experience i would say its worth checking in to

Pros:

ease of use and a brand you can trust its median prices for the anti virus and has a decent amount of things you can do with it i enjoy knowing my pc is protected and data is secure while streaming on twitch

Cons:

most of the cost its a good service just feel its still pricy for what you get only if you are a small buisness if you are a large one id recommend it but for solo contractors etc streamers without other people its not worth the money but for anyone else 2 plus people in the company id say get it in a heartbeat if you want quality protection for your data and pc of the company

Won't use it, even if it's free

4.0 8 months ago

Comments: It's like the free version but with more features. And that's not good because software quality feels cheap. Menus are not intuitive. Overal experience is bad.

Pros:

Easy installation, virus AND malware detection. The firewall is a nice addition, but navigating in within the rules is a pain. Ransomware protection is a must for business.

Cons:

Firewall rules are not easy. Malware detection is far from good. Engine detection consumes lots of resources.

A good solution for internet security

4.0 4 years ago

Comments: I like that I know AVG internet security is running in the background keeping me safe from virus' and other malicious attacks.

Pros:

I have been using AVG for some time now - it is simple to use and makes me feel secure while I am using my computer. I like that it warns you when you download something from a site that might not be safe.

Cons:

Sometimes the popups are a bit annoying, though I believe you can turn these off in the settings. Cost is also a bit high.

AVG Free or Paid Version?

4.0 6 years ago

Comments: As mentioned WE've used Both the Free Versions AND the Paid For Versions and You Do Get What you PAY FOR!

Pros:

As we all know AVG has a Free Home version that finds it way in to many Enterprise Businesses that are trying to save a buck. However their Paid Version is much more Robust and does get the Job Done! Therefore if your a Business you really need to purchase their Internet Security Business Edition. We have used BOTH! The Paid For Version is Highly Recommended!

Cons:

I notice a lot more false positives with AVG that without BitDefender Installations but it was a close race! I would say that Price would dictate a lot of the installations we've seen with the caveat that the IT department stay on the ball and run MalwareBytes from time to time to see if either installation has missed something. All these programs have variations on their databases so we've found it's a good Idea to do this.

AVG IS TOP!

5.0 4 years ago

Comments: I like it because it gets the job done. It will segregate the viruses and explain them, which is a very helpful feature, so you can look up the history and data of the little demon - or sometimes see what programmers have put in their software that potentially can hurt your business.

Pros:

Excellent product and easy to use, well trusted, and gets the job done. You will be very happy with it.

Cons:

It can slow down the computer and get in the way until you get used to it. So you have to play with the schedules and time them when you're not doing heavy processing work.

AVG Internet security is a very reliable and fast acting software. The best thing about AVG is it's free version. There are other versions available also. And the interface is also very simple and easy to handle. I would like to recommend the software to anyone. It is really great and very useful !!

Cons:

Honestly there are no any cons to be mentioned about this software. The only thing that I have encountered is, it's free version only provides basic protection which sometimes may be disadvantageous.

Eduardo Lina - AVG Internet Security

5.0 4 years ago

Comments: As far as protecting my Personal Computer, AVG has performed very well. I hav made it a point to renew my subscription very year because, to put it simply, I trust it and feel I get full value for the money I pay.

Pros:

I trust this software thoriughly. It has warned me when my computer was at risk, prevented me from making mistakes when accessing potentially danerous sites, provided me with advice as to how to act in case of danger from malaware, etc. I have been buying this product for a number of years because I value its worth.

Cons:

When I got AVG Tuneup and protected my cellular device, too, I blocked several features on my phone.

AVG App Review

5.0 4 years ago

Pros:

The best thing about AVG is that it keeps up with the latest virus threats and is applied and the system is monitored in real-time.

Cons:

The one thing I don't like about AVG and many other products is that sometimes during a required reboot, windows open-tabs are lost.

great tool for peace of mind - and free for individuals

4.0 4 years ago

Comments: I have used both the free and corporate versions of the software, and the fact that my company has never had a major issue with viruses is enough for me to recommend it.

Pros:

Obviously, the fact that it is free for personal use is a big plus. But it is my go-to (in tandem with Malwarebytes) to clean up any infected computer. It's never failed me to this point.

Cons:

This is probably a little nitpicky, since they are a for-profit company, but they tend to oversell the upgrades if you use the free version. Not to say that they aren't worthwhile, but if you only want to be able to scan your machine for viruses periodically it can get to be a bit much.

A Great Anti-Virus Software

4.0 4 years ago

Comments: I have used AVG for several years and have recommended it to others. It is my go-to anti-virus now. I have used a number of different anti-virus software programs. This one has proved to be the most reliable, the easiest to install, and to have the fewest conflicts with other programs I'm running or trying to install.

Pros:

It's very simple and intuitive to use. You install it, set it up, and feel reasonably secure that the software will catch, quarantine, delete, or repair any issues resulting from malware or viruses. It runs in the background without interference.

Cons:

It can be hard to find the area you want to set automatic scans or other features.

Incredible product that gives me peace of mind

Pros:

I like it can detect the most recent virus and threats and make my laptop super safe. It is easy to use and well integrated into Win 10.

Cons:

It is expensive if I want to upgrade its service. Besides, it may be too sensitive and thus occasionally make false positive detect
