We recommend avoiding Avast, AVG and Avast’s other products until information comes out that proves Avast has changed its ways. We’ll be reviewing AVG independently of these concerns, but we wanted you to be able to make an informed choice. Jumpshot, the Avast subsidiary company that sold the data, was suspended soon after the reports came out, but this doesn’t prove it’s finished harvesting data. A report from January 2020 revealed that Avast has been selling its users’ browsing data to advertisers, including that of AVG users. Our AVG AntiVirus review analyzes its free and premium features, pricing structure, usability, protection power and tech support, all before rendering a final verdict.īefore we start, there’s a note about AVG that, in good conscience, we can’t ignore. We performed hands-on tests on AVG to find out how well it keeps your devices safe, in addition to bringing in some corroborating research. The main differences are the user interface and the features offered at different subscription levels. While the two products remain distinct, both are now based on Avast’s detection network, and so both products score exactly the same for security. The first thing to understand about AVG AntiVirus is its relationship to Avast, which acquired it in 2016. While it does have faults, which we’ll get into, it’s solid enough in 2020 to remain on our list of the best antivirus software. Its free antivirus plan is fairly comprehensive, and its cheapest premium product is a complete antivirus solution.
