AVG Identity Protection
AVG Identity Protection™ sits on top of the existing anti-virus, shielding passwords, credit card numbers, and other
digital valuables from prying eyes.
AVG Identity Protection™ uses behavioral analysis to make sure all the programs running on the PC are operating the way
they should. If it spots something suspicious, it shuts that activity down, preventing any possible identity theft.
Because AVG Identity Protection works by spotting and blocking suspicious behavior on a continuous basis, there’s no
need to download the latest signature updates for your anti-virus or scheduled a scan daily.

AVG Antivirus
Free edition
|
The AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition is successfully in use on millions of home computers. Of course, it has certain limitations
that inspire users to purchase an upgrade. The limitations are:
- Less protection – AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition provides the same anti-virus and anti-spyware scanning engine as the commercial
product; however, it lacks anti-rootkit. While there is no official protection for files from messaging sources, the Resident
Shield component automatically scans files before they are opened or copied.
- Infrequent updates – AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition receives updates via a lower priority service. Priority updating via high-speed servers is only available for the commercial versions of AVG products.
- No telephone or e-mail technical support – There is no telephone or e-mail technical support provided by AVG for users of AVG Free Edition products anywhere in the world. AVG Free Edition users have access to support via the self-help AVG Free Forum.
- Less customization – Scheduling options in AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition are very limited (only one scheduled update
per day). However, the AVG Resident Shield configuration allows exclusions. The on-demand/scheduled scanner allows advanced
testing options such as heuristics and reporting of password-protected archives reporting.
- No server support –
AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition cannot be installed on server operating systems, nor can it be used for the scanning of
network drives.
- AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition is only licensed for home and non-commercial use on a single computer.
