Why you need extra protection

Shopping, Banking, Chatting? Downloading?

If the answer is yes then we strongly recommend that you upgrade to AVG Internet Security.

Protection against identity theft

AVG's unique Identity Protection technology ensures that when you shop and bank online, your bank account information, passwords, and other important personally-identifiable information can’t be stolen. As a bonus, Identity Protection also keeps you safe against new and unknown threats before they can cause harm.

Available as a standalone product and in AVG Internet Security

Protection from hackers

AVG’s enhanced firewall keeps hackers' prying eyes out of your private business. These remote trespassers can view or steal information, take control of your computer for nefarious purposes like botnets and spamming. It even includes a game mode to keep you protected without interrupting your play.

Available in AVG Internet Security

Protection against spammers and scammers

AVG's anti-spam protection makes sure your email inbox is kept clear of unwanted junk mail, offers for products you don't want or need, and solicitations from scammy marketers looking to separate you from your money.

Available in AVG Internet Security

Protection for instant messaging, downloads, and social networking

AVG's Web Shield is on constant guard, making sure any files you exchange using MSN or ICQ instant messaging, download, or share with friends in your social networks are safe from viruses, spyware, and other nasties.

Available in AVG Anti-Virus and AVG Internet Security

Protection against sophisticated rootkits

While AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition can detect a few rootkits, most of these threats are so complex and sophisticated that powerful tools are needed to root them out from deep inside your PC.

Available in AVG Anti-Virus and AVG Internet Security
