AVG is the go to suite of protection, cleaning, and safety solutions for all my devices. Getting the premium subscription is definitely worth it when looking to protect multiple devices of various types. We currently use it on all 3 of the types of OS in our home Windows PC, Android, and iPhone. Easy to use and install, setup for regular auto checks is ready to go and keep everything all tuned up!

Junk it is constantly closing on its own. If the free version is doing this constantly the paid version must be trash. I got the free version to test it out to see if it helps. So far it doesn't help at all. I keep getting sent to bad sites it doesn't stay active at all . Every 5 minutes I have to re-enable it. I'm deleting pos and going to mcfee

Can you handle the truth? By far, the best PC, Laptop, and mobile protection under one account there is. I've tried them all from McAfee(r), Norton(r), Kaspersky(r) and more! AVG protection and AVG Ultimate keeps your systems, your browsing, and devices free of any issues and viruses. I trust AVG with my digital health and well being, I can work harder on what is important without working harder on being safe in today's digital world!
