We ought not spend any time on our computers without an good internet security system, and AVG Anti-Virus is that security needed. I have used it for years to protect my computers from viruses and spyware. Each day it does its security scan, and makes updates to its system. You can have AVG scan specific files, folders, or scan the entire computer for threats or issues. While on a particular website, or web page, you can have AVG scan that page or site. It is important to always keep the anti-virus program updated, regardless of which is used, since new viruses come forward every day. AVG lets the user know what the newest internet threats are, and what they mean. Very interesting, but serious information.
AVG offers a database of information about viruses, and the top internet threats. From the AVG menu bar at the top of the screen, click on the help button, then, click on About Viruses and Threats.
AVG will scan incoming and outgoing email for threats. Even with the strong security protections that come with Google's gmail, I still use AVG for added security.
The AVG Web Shield is protection application protects against accidental downloads of infected files. Many users who spend considerable time of the internet would value this function of AVG. Resident Shield scans files during the process of downloads. The AVG Linkscanner application is valuable because it guards the computer from viruses or spyware, when a website is at the point of being entered.
AVG is so busy doing so many things as an all-purpose guard for computer users. While doing all the many things I do online, I know that behind the scenes, faithfully at work, is my hired security guard, AVG.
