The comprehensive paid antivirus program AVG Internet Security (Pro version) protects your computer from unwanted intruders. The security program includes Antivirus, Anti-Spyware, Anti-Rootkit, Personal Firewall and spam filters.
Stay safe online with AVG Internet Security (Pro version)
The Internet is full of dangers. Even on seemingly harmless sites, there is a risk of infecting your computer with unwanted malware or viruses. One wrong click or opening a contaminated attachment can already cause great damage and, in the worst case, completely paralyse the computer. Once you have contracted such malware, it becomes very difficult to remove it.
AVG Internet Security (Pro version) is a sensible combination of antivirus and firewall designed to block all types of threats before the hard drive is seriously damaged. It checks links, emails, downloads or Facebook references before they are opened by you. The security of the links is indicated by a simple colour system. Green means "safe", yellow "questionable" and orange "risky".
Furthermore, infected or harmful attachments in emails are reliably detected. These are increasingly being attached to fake emails by fraudsters and tempt the reader to open them by indicating the supposed urgency of the content. Once opened, however, the computer is infected with a Trojan or malicious program, so that third parties can then access your computer and spy on confidential data. AVG Internet Security (Pro version) also protects your email account from annoying spam and dangerous phishing emails by scanning all emails for suspicious content.
Social networks such as Twitter or Facebook are becoming increasingly popular. Due to the simple exchange of messages, pictures, videos and much more, these platforms are being used by more and more people. Videos and much more, these platforms are being used by more and more people, but this is not free of dangers. Seemingly harmless links are quickly clicked on carelessly, but in reality they can cause great damage to the computer. AVG Internet Security (Pro version) checks the links that are spread on the social networks and thus helps to increase the security of the platforms.
In addition to these social services, online shops are also becoming increasingly popular. The sheer endless variety of products and the ease of shopping from home contribute to the growing usage. But like other activities on the Internet, online shopping is not free of dangers. In most cases, a login with a personal password must be created. If this password is spied out by strangers, this can have devastating consequences for the person concerned. Third parties can easily gain access to private data and order goods on someone else's account, for example. AVG Internet Security (Pro Version) can prevent this by checking various websites for possible data theft in advance. In this way, access data to online shops can be protected in the best possible way.
More and more advertising services as well as large Internet companies are recording the data and surfing history of their users and using this data to create targeted profiles that reflect the purchasing behavior and preferences of users. To prevent this, AVG Internet Security (Pro version) is able to stop these tracking attempts. A firewall prevents the spying of personal data.
When using public WLAN networks, the WiFi Guard protects you from being secretly read out by third parties.
AVG Internet Security (Pro Version) offers many intelligent additional features
With AVG Internet Security (Pro version) it is possible to scan the whole computer for possible malware, but also individual files or folders. It is also possible to scan USB sticks, CD-ROMs, DVDs or other storage media. Even large files are analysed within a very short time thanks to the intelligent turbo scan.
The PC is only scanned when it is not in use. This prevents updates and scans during games, for example, so that undisturbed gaming enjoyment is possible without delay.
A special feature is the so-called "data safe". Here an area is created on the hard disk which is protected by a master password. Individual files as well as entire folders can be stored securely in this safe.
If you want to safely remove certain files from your computer, simple deletion is often not enough. AVG Internet Security (Pro version) has an integrated file shredder. It deletes private files in a way that makes unauthorized access or recovery impossible.
AVG Internet Security (Pro Version) for Android tablets
In addition to a version for the computer, AVG Internet Security is also available as a paid pro-app for Android smartphones. This is the best way to protect your smartphone against viruses, malware and spyware. Just like the Pro version for the computer, it checks websites and links for suspicious content.
AVG Internet Security (Pro Version) provides comprehensive anti-theft protection for your tablet. In the event of theft, the tablet's location can be easily determined via GPS. Remote access to the tablet and personal data can then be blocked.
If a stranger tries to activate the device and enters the password incorrectly three times in a row, a photo of this person is taken with a camera. This photo will be sent to you by email.
Device Lock Pro registers when the SIM card is replaced and ensures that the tablet is locked immediately in these cases.
Call and message blocking makes it easy to filter and block unwanted and suspicious calls or text messages.
The AVG Zen app is especially valuable for Android phones and tablets. This app makes it easy to manage the protection of computers and Android devices remotely. Remote virus scanning is also possible.
