Good free app. Makes it difficult to update or search sometimes. Always trying to sell the upgrade over and over and over. 2 or 3 times, everytime you use the app. So if you don't mind repeating that you dont want to buy the expensive upgrade everytime you use it, then it's no problem. To be fair, in 5+ years it's never found a virus, so I've no idea if it actually works, but it gives me peace of mind.

AVG is the go to suite of protection, cleaning, and safety solutions for all my devices. Getting the premium subscription is definitely worth it when looking to protect multiple devices of various types. We currently use it on all 3 of the types of OS in our home Windows PC, Android, and iPhone. Easy to use and install, setup for regular auto checks is ready to go and keep everything all tuned up!

Junk it is constantly closing on its own. If the free version is doing this constantly the paid version must be trash. I got the free version to test it out to see if it helps. So far it doesn't help at all. I keep getting sent to bad sites it doesn't stay active at all . Every 5 minutes I have to re-enable it. I'm deleting pos and going to mcfee
