The security templates in AVG work very much like comparable applications. For example, the firewall feature of the program, pre-configured to allow well-known applications such as web browsers or email to access the Internet. When you use software that AVG is not sure if it is safe, the program will issue a message asking if you want to allow this application to access the Internet, and you will allow them to access it. Access only this once or allow them to access completely. You can configure a firewall that only allows applications to access the Internet on all the networks you use (home network, Wi-Fi hotspots, etc.) or just a network that you feel safe - A special feature utility.
Similarly, when the antivirus utility detects threats, the program will automatically notify you and transfer these suspicious software to an archive, where the software will be disabled. You can 'free' this software if they are really safe or delete or keep them in this archive forever.
AVG's scanning process is very slow, consuming more than 3 hours. During the scanning process, they will also slow down your system, operating system and other applications.
Email attachment checking and anti-spam functionality integrate into email applications, including Outlook and any application that supports POP3, IMAP or SMTP protocols. We tried them with Outlook and didn't see the anti-spam feature work much better than the built-in feature in Outlook, although it made a small mistake in identifying too many valid email as spam. .
The System Tools model of the software, which helps to display all the processes you are using, online connection, browser extensions and software that launches with the operating system, is also a handy feature. useful. However, this utility does not provide any help. For example, the program displays the names of files that start with the operating system, but does not explain what work they do or whether they are safe when they do not start with the operating system.
Be careful with the ads
AVG's link scanner is installed as a toolbar within Mozilla's Internet Explorer, Firefox, and reports on the security of the website you are visiting. However, this toolbar also has a Yahoo search box and a link to Yahoo Weather, which has no effect on keeping your privacy and all your needs and any links. AVG's contacts all lead to Yahoo. In fact, during the installation process, your search engine will only switch to Yahoo by default unless you do not tick a corresponding dialog box.

AVG Internet Security 2011

Price: 1 computer: $ 55 (1 year), $ 82 (2 years), 3 computers: $ 69 (1 year), $ 103 (2 years). Other packages are also available to users.
Installing unnecessary Yahoo features is enough to make you uncomfortable. However, what's even worse is that AVG is trying to sell you other services. For example, the main screen of AVG displays a sample of PC Analyzer - computer analysis. Click the icon and it will check your Registry, check your hard drive to see if the drive is fragmented, check for broken shortcuts and check if you have any extra files. It sounds very useful, but when you ask them to fix these errors, you will get a website that provides a download that will help you solve the problems just once - the next time you use them you will have to pay a yearly fee of $ 29.99.
We doubt that PC Analyzer results are a bit suspicious and wonders whether it overstates the existing problems on the system. Because the utility reported that our system had 677 Registry errors while RegistryBooster 2010 reported 25 errors, Lavasoft Registry Tuner reported 21 errors and CCleaner only reported 8 Registry errors.
Evaluate
AVG Internet Security 2011 provides all the protection features you would expect in a security suite, but the carrier's badly annoying habits are 'effort' to add extra services, and the tendency to slow down. Your system during virus scanning. It is these things that make AVG less effective than it should be.
