AVG waa shirkad software ka hortag ah oo caalami ah oo caan ah, xarunteeduna tahay Czech Republic . Waxay soo saarayeen software amniga in ka badan rubuc-qarni, tan iyo 1991. Shirkaddu waxay caan ku noqotay sababtoo ah fayraska bilaashka ah, taas oo sidoo kale ah sababta Avast , oo ah tartankoodii hore ee tooska ah ee suuqa amniga kumbuyuutarka, ay u heleen. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, astaanta AVG ayaa weli jirta, iyo alaabada amniga ee la xidhiidha waa la sii iibinayaa. Mid ka mid ah badeecooyinka amniga qaaliga ah ee lagu iibiyo astaanta AVG waxaa loo yaqaannaa AVG Internet Securityiyo, sababtoo ah waxaan rabnay inaan aragno inay kaa ilaalin karto hanjabaadaha internetka, waxaan go'aansanay inaan tijaabinno in muddo ah. Maanta, waxaan diyaar u nahay inaan kula wadaagno natiijooyinkayaga, dib u eegistan:

Waa maxay Amniga Internetka^{(Internet Security)} AVG ku fiican yahay?

Amniga Internetka AVG^{(AVG Internet Security)} waa badeecad ammaan oo ku wanaagsan:

• Ahaanshaha saaxiibtinimo, muuqaal wanaagsan oo fududahay in la isticmaalo
• Aqoonsiga iyo nadiifinta malware-ka kombiyuutarkaaga Windows
• Bixinta difaac wanaagsan oo dab-damis ah oo ka dhan ah weerarrada shabakadaha, marka aad ku xidhan tahay shabakadaha dadweynaha

AVG Internet Security vs. AVG Ultimate

AVG Internet Security waa nooca fudud ee AVG Ultimate, farqiga u dhexeeyana waa in kan dambe uu ku jiro AVG TuneUp . AVG ayaa sheegaysa in qalabkooda TuneUp " ^{(TuneUp )}si toos ah u dedejiyaa PC-gaaga, nadiifiya xogta qashinka, waxay ku siinaysaa nolol batari wanaagsan, waxay ku ilaalisaa waxyaabaha daruuriga ah mar walba oo ay hagaajiso arrimaha yaryar ka hor intaanay noqon dhibaatooyin dhab ah." ^{("automatically speeds up your PC, cleans up junk data, gives you better battery life, keeps your essentials always up to date and fixes small issues before they become real problems.")}Si kastaba ha ahaatee, xitaa haddii aad iibsato AVG Ultimate weli ma aad helin qalab dheeraad ah oo muhiim ah oo ay bixiso AVG , kaas oo ah ^(AVG)VPN^{(Secure VPN)} -kooda Sugan . Haddii aad aaminsan tahay inaad u baahan tahay AVG TuneUp iyo dhawr daraasiin oo doollar ahi aanay wax badan adiga kugu ahayn, laga yaabee AVG Ultimatewaa iibsi fiican. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, iyadoo la tixgelinayo in inta badan waxyaabaha aad ku samayn karto AVG TuneUp waxaad sidoo kale si toos ah u samayn kartaa Windows 10 , waxaan aaminsanahay in AVG Internet Security uu yahay heshiiska ugu wanaagsan.

Faa'iidada iyo khasaaraha

Waxyaabaha wanaagsan ee aan ka helnay AVG Internet Security , waxaa ka mid ah kuwan soo socda:

• Matoorka ka hortaga ayaa aqoonsan kara oo nadiifin kara malware kasta oo laga helo kombiyuutarkaaga
• Habka dab-damiska wuxuu qabtaa shaqo fiican markaad ku xidho shabakadaha dadweynaha
• Interface-ka isticmaaluhu wuxuu u muuqdaa mid wanaagsan, wayna fududahay in la dhex maro oo lagu isticmaalo qalab kasta, labadaba mouse iyo kiiboodhka, iyo sidoo kale muraayadda taabashada.

Nasiib darro, waxaa sidoo kale jira dhinacyo badan oo taban oo ku saabsan Amniga Internetka AVG^{(AVG Internet Security)} :

• Filterka HTTP ee ay bixiso AVG ma aha mid hufan, iyo kala badh wakhtiga laguma ilaalinayo markaad booqato shabakadaha phishingka ee khatarta ah
• Waxay si weyn u kordhisay wakhtiga boot ee kumbuyuutarkayaga tijaabada ah
• Kordhinta biraawsarkaaga SafePrice ee lagu daray ma jirto wax ka dhexeeya amnigaaga, waxayna u badan tahay inay tahay uun daw AVG uu lacag uga sameeyo isticmaalyaasheeda
• Ma jiraan tiro-koobyo iyo qoraalo la heli karo isticmaaluhu oo ku saabsan waxa ka dhacay kombayutarkaga
• Module-ka ka-hortagga si toos ah uma baaro, mana ku waydiinayo haddii aad rabto in aad iskaan u qaaddo fayrasyada darawallada la saari karo
• Qaar ka mid ah abka dheeraadka ah ee lagu xayaysiinayo is-dhexgalka adeegsadaha ayaa ku kacaya lacag dheeraad ah, oo uu ku jiro adeegga VPN
• Ma jiraan wax xakameyn waalid oo lagu daray

Xukun

AVG Internet Security waa xal ammaan oo ay ka buuxaan isbarbardhig. Inkasta oo ay awood u leedahay inay kaa ilaaliso malware-ka, uma samaynayso sida ugu fiican ee ay awooddo. Suite-ka ammaanku waxa uu ku guul-darraystay inuu ku difaaco marka uu baadhinayo mareegaha, taas oo dhibaato weyn ku ah xilligan casriga ah ee internet-ka, iyo habka uu u maamulo darawallada meesha laga saari karo waa wax aan firfircoonayn. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, firewall-ku wuxuu ku fiican yahay inuu ku ilaaliyo marka lagu xiro shabakadaha dadweynaha inkastoo uu daciif yahay marka lagu xiro shabakadaha gaarka ah. Interface-ka isticmaaluhu wuxuu u muuqdaa oo u shaqeeyaa si weyn, laakiin ma bixiyo warbixinno ama qoraallo ku saabsan waxa ku socda kombuyuutarkaaga. Si ay wax uga sii xumaato, qaar ka mid ah qalabka dheeraadka ah ee lagu xayeysiiyo is-dhexgalka isticmaalaha ayaa ku kacaya lacag dheeraad ah, oo ay ku jirto midda dhabta ah ee waxtarka leh: AVG Secure VPN . Amniga Internetka AVG^{(AVG Internet Security)}waa badeecad leh karti badan, laakiin horumariyayaasheeda waa inay wax badan galiyaan si ay u wanaajiyaan hab-dhaqankeeda caadiga ah iyo ka-hortagga. Hadda, waxaan kugula talineynaa inaad iibsato AVG Internet Security kaliya haddii aad fahanto dhammaan daciifnimadeeda oo aad heshiis fiican ka hesho.

Soo dejinta iyo khibradda rakibidda

Si aad u hesho Badbaadada Internetka ee AVG kombiyuutarkaaga ^{(AVG Internet Security)}Windows , waa inaad ka soo dejisaa boggiisa rasmiga ah, halkan^(here) . Waxa aad helayso waa fayl yar oo 3.47 MB ​​ah oo la fulin karo oo loo yaqaan AVG_Protection_755.exe . Aad baan ula yaabnay markaan aragnay in AVG uusan nooga baahnayn wax macluumaad gaar ah si loo soo dejiyo rakibaha. Markaad socodsiiso fulinta, AVG wuxuu ku weydiinayaa inaad geliso ciwaan email sax ah iyo furaha sirta ah ee loo isticmaali doono si loo abuuro akoonkaaga AVG , laakiin waxaad sidoo kale ka boodi kartaa tallaabadan, taas oo ah mid aad u fiican.

Saaxir rakibaadda ayaa markaas ku weydiinaya inaad sidoo kale rabto inaad Google Chrome ku rakibto kumbuyuutarkaaga. Chrome waa browser-ka ugu caansan adduunka, waana software ammaan ah. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, taasi macnaheedu maaha inaad ku rakibto oo aad isticmaasho haddii aadan rabin. Markaa, haddii aadan rabin Chrome oo aad ku faraxsan tahay adeegsiga biraawsarkaaga shabakadeed ee hadda jira, ka jooji doorashadan saaxirka rakibaadda.

Wax wanaagsan oo ku saabsan AVG Internet Security waa xaqiiqda ah inay kuu ogolaaneyso inaad sameyso rakibaad gaar ah. Waxaan kugula talineynaa inaad sidaas sameyso oo aad hubiso kaliya modules-yada aad rabto inaad ku rakibto oo aad isticmaasho. Tusaale ahaan, waxaa laga yaabaa inaadan rabin inaad ku rakibto SafePrice biraawsarkaaga fidinta, kaas oo aan waxba kuu qabanayn amniga. Fidinta browserka AVG ee SafePrice^{(AVG's SafePrice)} waxay ku siinaysaa kaliya beddelka alaabta aad ka baadho onlaynka, mareegaha wax iibsiga.

Haddii aad doorato inaad wax walba ku rakibto, saaxir rakibaadda wuxuu soo dejinayaa 215 MB oo dheeraad ah oo xog ah serfarada AVG . Marka rakibidda la dhammeeyo, AVG Internet Security waxay ku shubtaa is-dhexgalka isticmaaleheeda, kaas oo u muuqda nadiif oo fudud in la isticmaalo, si la mid ah noocyadii hore. Looma baahna in dib loo bilaabo kombayutarka si loo ilaaliyo suite-ka amniga sababtoo ah waxa uu soo shubaa hababkiisa isla marka la rakibo. Nasiib darro, AVG Internet Security ma bilaabo cusbooneysiin toos ah oo qeexitaankeeda fayraska. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, markii aanu kicinay cusboonaysiinta gacanta, waxaanu ogaanay in qolka uu hore u isticmaalay qeexitaanadii ugu dambeeyay ee la heli karo, kaas oo aad u fiican.

Soo dejinta iyo ku rakibida AVG Internet Security waa sahlan oo toos ah. Si ka duwan alaabada kale ee ka hortagga, AVG wuxuu kuu ogolaanayaa inaad doorato cutubyada amniga ee aad rakibto, kumana khasbayso inaad bixiso macluumaad shakhsi ah inta lagu jiro rakibidda. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, waxay sidoo kale isku daydaa inay kugu dhejiso Google Chrome iyo AVG SafePrice. In kasta oo Chrome uu yahay biraawsarreesar shabakad ammaan ah oo caan ah, waxaa laga yaabaa inaadan ka rabin kumbuyuutarkaaga. Xitaa si ka sii daran, waxaa laga yaabaa inaad rabto inaad iska ilaaliso rakibidda AVG SafePrice, taas oo aan ahayn wax ka badan browser-ka balaadhinta ee wax iibsiga onlaynka ah oo aan shaqo ku lahayn badbaadadaada.^{(Downloading and installing AVG Internet Security is easy and straightforward. Unlike other antivirus products, AVG lets you choose what security modules you install, and it does not force you to provide any personal information during the installation. However, it also tries to make you install Google Chrome and AVG SafePrice. Although Chrome is a safe and popular web browser, you might not want it on your computer. Even more so, you might want to avoid installing AVG SafePrice, which is nothing more than a browser extension for shopping online and has nothing to do with your safety.)}

La-qabsiga Windows , daalacashada shabakada, iyo barnaamijyada madal Windows ee caalamiga ah^(Windows)

Inta lagu guda jiro rakibaadda, AVG Internet Security wuxuu curyaamiyaa ^{(AVG Internet Security)}Windows Defender iyo Windows Firewall labadaba . Taasi waa shay wanaagsan sababtoo ah waxay kaa caawineysaa inaad iska ilaaliso isku dhac kasta iyo arrimaha waxqabadka ee ka soo muuqan kara isticmaalka alaabada amniga ee badan isku mar. AVG Internet Security sidoo kale si fiican ayaa loogu dhex daray astaamaha isku xirka Windows . Waxaan awoodnay inaan abuurno oo aan ku biirno koox-guri ,^(homegroup) la wadaagno faylalka iyo faylalka shabakadda maxalliga ah oo aan la shaqeyno apps-ka caalamiga ah ee Windows^{(universal Windows platform apps)} .

AVG Internet Security waxa uu awood u leeyahay in uu ogaado astaanta shabakadda ee ku jirta Windows si toos ah oo uu u habeeyo dab-damiskiisa si waafaqsan, taas oo ah mid aad u fiican. Waxay ka dhigan tahay in isticmaaluhu uusan soo faragelin si uu u doorto habka dab-damiska ee ku habboon shabakadaha uu ku xiran yahay.

Marka ay timaado amnigaaga onlaynka ah, AVG Internet Security waxa uu kaa ilaalinayaa mareegaha khatarta ah adiga oo shaandhaynaya taraafikada intarneedka ee kombiyuutarkaaga. Taasi waa hab wanaagsan sababtoo ah waxay la shaqeysaa Google Chrome , Mozilla Firefox , Microsoft Edge , Opera , Internet Explorer iyo shabakad kasta oo kale oo aad doorbidayso isticmaalka.

Tixgelin muhiim ah oo ku saabsan la-qabsiga Windows waa saamaynta ay qaybta ammaanku ku leedahay waxqabadka kombiyuutarkaaga. Si aan arrintaas wax badan uga helno, waxaanu samaynay dhawr cabbir. Marka hore^(First) , waxaanu eegnay in AVG Internet Security uu kordhiyay wakhtiga bootinta kombayutarka ka dib markii aanu rakibnay. Waxaan u isticmaalnay app la yiraahdo BootRacer si aan tan u cabbirno, warka xunna waa in AVG ay saameyn xun ku yeelatay waqtiyada bootinta. Ka dib markii aan rakibnay AVG Internet Security , kumbuyuutarkayaga tijaabada ah wuxuu ku bilaabmay si gaabis ah 28 boqolkiiba sidii hore.

Kadib, waxaanu eegnay inta RAM AVG Internet Security u baahan yahay si uu u socodsiiyo dhammaan hannaankeeda amniga. Waxaan ogaanay in ay ku isticmaasho meel ku dhow 76 MB RAM marka wax walba ay sax yihiin, oo aysan jirin wax khatar ah oo ku saabsan kombiyuutarkaaga. Tani waa tiro yar oo kombiyuutar kasta oo casri ah.

Si loo hubiyo in intarneedka ama xawaaraha shabakada maxaliga ahi ay saamayso AVG Internet Security , waxaanu sidoo kale ku samaynay dhawr tijaabo Speedtest.net iyo LAN Speed ​​Test . Tijaabooyinkii aanu la soconay Speedtest.net waxay tuseen in soodejintu ama xawaaraha soo dejinta midna aanay saamaynin qaybta amniga. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, imtixaanadii aanu ku wadnay Imtixaanka Xawaaraha LAN^{(LAN Speed Test)} waxa ay tuseen in xawaaraha soo dajintu ee koobiyaynta faylka ee shabakada maxaliga ahi uu hoos u dhacay boqolkiiba 3 ka dib markii la rakibo AVG Internet Security . Tani waxay ka dhigan tahay in qolka ammaanku uu saameyn xun ku yeelanayo xawliga wareejinta shabakada oo aan wax saameyn ah ku yeelaneynin wareejinta xogta internetka.

AVG Internet Security waa suudh ammaan oo si fiican ugu dhex milmay Windows iyo sifooyinkeeda isku xidhka. Sidoo kale waa xal khafiif ah oo aan hoos u dhigin kombuyuutarkaaga marka uu shaqeynayo oo aan waxyeello u geysan xawaarahaaga internetka. Si kastaba ha noqotee, waxay si aad ah u yareysaa waqtiyada bootinta, waxayna sidoo kale saameyn xun ku leedahay xawaaraha wareejinta faylka ee shabakada deegaanka.^{(AVG Internet Security is a security suite that is well integrated with Windows and its networking features. It is also a lightweight solution that does not slow your computer down when running and which does not hurt your internet speed. However, it slows the boot times by quite a lot, and it also has a small negative effect on the file transfer speeds in the local network.)}

Fududeynta isticmaalka & qaabeynta

Interface-ka isticmaale ee aad ka hesho AVG Internet Security wuxuu u muuqdaa mid wanaagsan oo kuu ogolaanaya inaad la shaqeyso AVG Internet Security suite ee ku rakiban kombuyutarkaaga, iyo sidoo kale inaad ku rakibto aaladaha kale ee AVG ama aad maamusho rakibaadda AVG Internet Security kale ee kombiyuutarada kale ee aad leedahay iyo kaas oo aad ku rakibtay qolka amniga. Si aad u hesho sifooyinkan iyo fursadahan, waxa kaliya ee ay tahay inaad samayso waa guji ama taabo badhanka Guriga^(Home) , kaasoo u eg guri dhab ah. Markaa, waxaad geli kartaa:

Security for everyone - Review AVG Internet Security

AVG is a world-renowned antivirus software company, based in the Czech Repυblic. They have been developing security software for morе than a quarter-century, since 1991. The company became famoυs becaυse of their free antivirus, which is also the reason why Avast, their former direct competitor оn the computer security market, haѕ acquired them. However, the AVG brаnd is still here, and the seсurity products associated with it continue to be sold. One of the premium security products that are sold under the AVG brand is called AVG Internet Security and, because we were curious to see if it can protect you against cyber threats, we decided to test it for a while. Today, we are ready to share our findings with you, in this review:

What is AVG Internet Security good at?

AVG Internet Security is a security product that is good at:

• Being friendly, good-looking and easy to use
• Identifying and cleaning malware from your Windows computer
• Offering good firewall protection against network attacks, when you are connected to public networks

AVG Internet Security vs. AVG Ultimate

AVG Internet Security is the lighter version of AVG Ultimate, and the difference between them is that the latter also includes AVG TuneUp. AVG says that their TuneUp tool "automatically speeds up your PC, cleans up junk data, gives you better battery life, keeps your essentials always up to date and fixes small issues before they become real problems." However, even if you buy AVG Ultimate you still do not get an important additional tool offered by AVG, which is their Secure VPN. If you believe that you need AVG TuneUp and a few dozens of dollars is not worth much to you, maybe the AVG Ultimate is a good buy. However, considering that most of the stuff you can do with AVG TuneUp you can also do directly with Windows 10, we believe that AVG Internet Security is the better deal.

Pros and cons

Among the good things we liked about AVG Internet Security, are the following:

• The antivirus engine can identify and clean any malware found on your computer
• The firewall module does a good job when you connect to public networks
• The user interface looks good, and it is easy to navigate and use on any device, both with a mouse and a keyboard, as well as on a touchscreen

Unfortunately, there are also many negative aspects regarding AVG Internet Security:

• The HTTP filter offered by AVG is not efficient, and half the time you are not protected when you visit dangerous phishing websites
• It significantly increased the boot time of our test computer
• The SafePrice web browser extension included has nothing in common with your security, and it is probably just a way for AVG to make money off its users
• There are no user-accessible statistics and logs about what has happened on your computer
• The antivirus module does not automatically scan, nor does it ask if you want to scan removable drives for viruses
• Some of the additional apps advertised in the user interface cost additional money, including the VPN service
• There are no parental controls included

Verdict

AVG Internet Security is a security solution full of contrasts. Even though it is capable of protecting you against malware, it does not do it as well as it could. The security suite fails to protect you while browsing the web, which is a big problem in the modern era of the internet, and the way it handles removable drives is anything but proactive. However, the firewall is good at protecting you while connected to public networks although rather weak when connected to private networks. The user interface looks and works great, but it does not offer reports or logs about what goes on your computer. To make things worse, some of the additional tools that are advertised in the user interface cost extra money, including the one that is truly useful: AVG Secure VPN. AVG Internet Security is a product with much potential, but its developers should invest more in improving its default behavior and proactiveness. For now, we recommend that you buy AVG Internet Security only if you understand all its weaknesses and you get a good deal for it.

The download and installation experience

To get AVG Internet Security on your Windows computer, you must download it from its official web page, here. What you get is a small 3.47 MB executable file called AVG_Protection_755.exe. We were pleasantly surprised to see that AVG did not require any personal information from us to download the installer. When you run the executable, AVG asks you to enter a valid email address and a password that are to be used to create your AVG account, but you can skip this step too, which is excellent.

The installation wizard then asks if you also want to install Google Chrome on your computer. Chrome is the most popular web browser in the world, and it is safe software. However, that does not mean that you have to install and use it unless you want to. So, if you do not want Chrome and you are happy using your existing web browser, disable this option from the installation wizard.

A good thing about AVG Internet Security is the fact that it allows you to do a custom installation. We recommend you do so and check only the modules that you want to install and use. For instance, you might not want to install the SafePrice browser extension, which does nothing for you regarding security. AVG's SafePrice browser extension only gives you alternatives to the products you search online, on shopping websites.

If you choose to install everything, the installation wizard downloads an additional 215 MB of data from AVG's servers. When the installation is done, AVG Internet Security loads its user interface, which looks clean and easy to use, just as it did in previous versions. There is no need to reboot the computer to be protected by the security suite because it loads its processes as soon as it is installed. Unfortunately, AVG Internet Security does not start an automatic update of its virus definitions. However, when we triggered a manual update, we found out that the suite already used the latest definitions available, which is excellent.

Downloading and installing AVG Internet Security is easy and straightforward. Unlike other antivirus products, AVG lets you choose what security modules you install, and it does not force you to provide any personal information during the installation. However, it also tries to make you install Google Chrome and AVG SafePrice. Although Chrome is a safe and popular web browser, you might not want it on your computer. Even more so, you might want to avoid installing AVG SafePrice, which is nothing more than a browser extension for shopping online and has nothing to do with your safety.

Integration with Windows, web browsers, and universal Windows platform apps

During its installation, AVG Internet Security disables both Windows Defender and Windows Firewall. That is a good thing because it helps avoid any conflicts and performance issues that could appear from using multiple security products at the same time. AVG Internet Security is also well integrated with Windows' networking features. We were able to create and join a homegroup, share files and folders over the local network and work with universal Windows platform apps.

AVG Internet Security is capable of detecting the network profile set in Windows automatically and adjusts its firewall accordingly, which is excellent. It means that the user does not have to intervene to select the appropriate firewall mode for the networks to which he or she connects.

When it comes to your online security, AVG Internet Security protects you against dangerous websites by filtering the internet traffic on your computer. That is a good approach because it works with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Opera, Internet Explorer and any other web browser you might prefer using.

An important consideration regarding integration with Windows is the effect the security suite has on the performance of your computer. To find more about that, we did a couple of measurements. First, we checked to see if AVG Internet Security increased our computer's boot time after we installed it. We used an app called BootRacer to measure this, and the bad news is that AVG had a negative influence on the boot times. After we installed AVG Internet Security, our test computer started slower by 28 percent than before.

Then, we looked at how much RAM AVG Internet Security needs to run all its security processes. We found that it consumes somewhere around 76 MB of RAM when everything is OK, and there are no threats on your computer. This is a small number for any modern day computer.

To check whether the internet or local network speeds are affected by AVG Internet Security, we also ran a few tests with Speedtest.net and with LAN Speed Test. The tests that we ran with Speedtest.net showed that neither the download or the upload speed were affected by the security suite. However, the tests that we ran with LAN Speed Test showed that the download speed for copying a file through the local network was slower by 3 percent after installing AVG Internet Security. This means that the security suite has a small negative effect on network transfer speeds and no effect at all on internet data transfers.

AVG Internet Security is a security suite that is well integrated with Windows and its networking features. It is also a lightweight solution that does not slow your computer down when running and which does not hurt your internet speed. However, it slows the boot times by quite a lot, and it also has a small negative effect on the file transfer speeds in the local network.

Ease of use & configuration

The user interface you get in AVG Internet Security looks good and lets you work with the AVG Internet Security suite that is installed on your computer, as well as install other tools from AVG or manage other AVG Internet Security installation from other computers you own and on which you have installed the security suite. To get access to these features and options, all you have to do is click or tap on the Home button, which looks like an actual house. Then, you can access:

• PC TuneUp - a tool that helps get your computer into shape

• Secure VPN - a VPN service that can protect you when you use unsecured internet connections

• Password Protection - a tool that alerts you about security breaches on your accounts, scans for weak & duplicate passwords in Firefox and Chrome, and blocks any other app from accessing them.

If you have an AVG online account and you have installed AVG's security products on several devices, you can see and control all of them from this interface.

Our main point of interest is the Internet Security, which looks good and simple to use. As always, AVG knows what it has to do with user interface design. The background color is gray, the accent colors are either greens or reds (depending on the security state of your computer), and each bit of information you get is displayed using simple visual cues.

Options, actions, settings: they are all changed, started or controlled by large tiles, buttons or check marks, so the security suite is easy to use by anyone, on any computer or device, both with a mouse and a keyboard and with a touchscreen.

If you need help, it is good to know that AVG Internet Security includes both online help and online support options. AVG offers a "Frequently Asked Questions" section, access to their community forums and, last but not least, options to "Contact Support" directly, via live chat, or via phone.

Unfortunately, we could not find any reports, logs or other kinds of statistics in AVG Internet Security. They are nowhere to be found, and that is not something we like. There is one setting that allows you to create some log files, but only in text form and only if you manually set it to be generated. Furthermore, these log files are not available for full computer scans or deep virus scans. They can be generated for device and file or folder scans though.

Regarding alerts and notifications, AVG Internet Security is not very talkative. The only popups we saw were related to malware being detected on our test computer.

AVG Internet Security offers a user interface that looks good and works well. It is fast, easy to navigate and easy to use on any device, with or without a touchscreen. On the negative side, it does not offer logs, reports or statistics of any kind, unless you manually configure it to generate text log files.
