I'll summarize here.Īs with the antivirus, you manage your installation through the AVG Zen tool. Please read my review of the antivirus for full details on those shared features. AntivirusĮverything that's in AVG AntiVirus Free (Free at AVG) is also found in this suite, naturally. To take any action, you either click the Scan Computer button at the bottom, or the Menu button at the top. You can click a button for a review of what's in basic protection (shared with the antivirus) or full protection (suite-only features). In an unusual twist, clicking these icons doesn't do anything. However, instead of colored circles it now displays five oversized icons representing five types of protection.
The new UI retains the old slate-gray background and green lettering. Like the standalone antivirus, the Windows version of this suite got a user interface makeover. It's down to two main security products, the free antivirus and the cross-platform, multi-device suite reviewed here. The cross-platform free AVG Protection is also gone, as is the Windows-only AVG Internet Security. Previously AVG offered a for-pay Pro antivirus not anymore.
I do, however, observe some simplification in the AVG line. Last year, Avast acquired AVG, but there's no plan to eliminate either product line. Best Hosted Endpoint Protection and Security Software.
