AVG AntiVirus Free also offers a default smart scan but this is configurable for deeper or focused scans. There are basic descriptions for each of these options and they’re all easy to configure, which encourages personalisation.

If you installed it, here’s where you can configure the Enhanced Firewall, while Hack Alerts is configurable to monitor for potentially leaked account passwords.

Web Shield and Email Shield are on by default but can be toggled off, with the former protecting against web attacks and unsafe downloads, and the latter blocking unsafe email attachments. The ‘Web & Email’ section has a similar layout. You can also scan whatever WiFi network you’re currently connected to for potential threats, plus protect preselected folders from ransomware protection. Digging deeper into the computer protection section reveals a toggle for File Shield (scans any new or opened file) and Behavior Shield, which warns of any potentially malicious app behaviour. The free version outlines what’s available and what costs money, but the real-time monitoring as well as web and email protection are part of all AVG versions.

First, a 56% discount as well as the offer to try AVG Internet Security for free for 60 days, which includes a seven-day email reminder before the paid subscription starts. Impressively, opening up the main AVG AntiVirus Free window offered a couple of unexpected goodies. Initially, I had some issues with AVG AntiVirus Free crashing on Windows 11, but that was fixed after a computer restart.

After this or if you skip it, tap install again for a speedy installation. If you choose to customise the installation, basically everything is ticked except for ‘Enhanced Firewall’. In fairness, the AVG Secure Browser looks a lot like Chrome, and it prompts for a preferred search engine as well as to import bookmarks and settings. The only initial installation hiccup for the Windows version is that you might want to untick the ‘Make AVG Secure Browser my default browser’ if you’re all set up with extensions and the like the one you’re using. Contrast that with McAfee where it’s easier to use a search engine for the free version than track it down on the page, not to mention the seven-day Norton trial that requires the exchange of payment details, and AVG is off to a cracking start. Refreshingly, the first thing you see on the AVG website is a big green button linking to a free download.
