Anti-Virus

The foundation of your protection. Without it, your computer and data are at extreme risk.

Typical results of virus attacks:

  • Very slow computer
  • Deleted or corrupted documents and files
  • Computer that does not function correctly
Your AVG Free 7.5 only scans for viruses. But there are more, and more common, threats. The all-new AVG 8.0 scanning engine finds spyware, trojans, and other malware too - and it's still light on system resources.
We recommend that you download & buy the new AVG Internet Security 8.0

Anti-Spyware

One of the best ways to prevent identity theft and stop unwanted pop-up advertisements.

Typical results of spyware attacks:

  • Theft of your credit card numbers and passwords
  • Unknown icons on your desktop
  • A different homepage in your browser
  • Unwanted advertisements (also likely to be infected)
Your AVG Free 7.5 does not contain anti-spyware protection. Even if you run a separate anti-spyware program, AVG 8.0 is more efficient, scanning for all types of malware in a single scan.
We recommend that you download & buy the new AVG Internet Security 8.0

Safe Downloads & Instant Messaging

File downloads, chatting with your friends and family - today these are everyday things. Protecting yourself in these areas is now another important part of your security and privacy protection.

Your AVG Free 7.5 does not contain the new Safe Downloads & Instant Messaging protection (Web Shield technology) so it does not screen your downloads and communication for viruses and spyware.
We recommend that you download & buy the new AVG Internet Security 8.0

Safe Search & Surf

New web threats (called exploits) could infect your computer just by visiting a web page!

The new technology (LinkScanner) incorporated into AVG 8.0 ensure the safety of:

  • Search results
  • Web sites
  • Web links
  • Favorites & bookmarks

...before you open them!

Your AVG Free 7.5 does not contain the new Safe Search & Surf protection. It does not protect you against infected pages. Only AVG 8.0 includes the real-time LinkScanner technology.
We recommend that you download & buy the new AVG Internet Security 8.0
