AVG Free is a Windows utility for preventing external attacks during web browsing. It is possible to automatically block suspicious URLs for protecting you from phishing attempts. All potentially infected items are placed in a safe quarantine zone and can be manually deleted or restored later.

Security modules

Users can toggle internal components like the file shield, behavior shield, ransomware protection and network inspector. These tools are necessary for keeping the system safe. Additionally, there are instruments for filtering web traffic and scanning incoming email attachments. Similar to Comodo Internet Security, the included firewall can block unauthorized internet connections.

This software lets you analyze personal passwords and receive alerts when the sensitive information is leaked online.

Scan parameters

There is an option to quickly check all files on the hard drive for detecting and removing potential threats. Alternatively, advanced scan options are available. Users can evaluate overall computer performance, analyze any external USB storage device and measure the average system boot time.
