The free version gives you a lot already with internet/virus scans, Enhanced Firewall, VPN on the mobile app, Ransomware Protection, etc. without annoying full-screen ads to buy every few minutes. Of course, the paid version has more features like Remote Access Shield, Browser Defense, and Data Shredder as well as my personal favorite, scam prevention tips

AVG really works. I tried going without paid version and almost crashed. Don't want to use a cell phone anymore It's to scary for me. Locked down all credit reports ECT as well. But someone still tries to do a name change so, relief from a good Bank has started investigation. Now just a flip phone and pad. Happy. AVG does a wonderful job though.

It's an antivirus, it works well. I do have the paid version and I run AVG on my phone, tablet, and my laptop. Never really had any issues from AVG, the PC version will try to up sell you on all of their products which can be expensive. I do like that the mobile version provides a VPN, just wished the VPN carried over to the PC version.
