Features in detail
Cutting-edge anti-spyware technology —
Using the latest state-of-the-art detection technology, AVG detects
spyware, adware, DLL-trojans, keyloggers, and much more. Malware hidden
in data streams, archives, or the Windows registry is also detected.
AVG also scans the memory to detect active threats.
Full on-access protection —
The powerful AVG Resident Shield provides maximum protection by
scanning every file opened, executed, or saved. It also prevents the
opening or executing of malware. Self-protection at the kernel layer
guarantees gapless monitoring by preventing malware from disabling your
anti-spyware protection.
Automatic threat handling —
AVG can automatically clean infected files and remove other threats
such as trojans, dialers, hijackers, spyware, and keyloggers.
Suspicious files can be safely moved into quarantine.
High-level scanning capabilities —
AVG detects sleeping and non-dangerous malware (i.e., malware that has
been downloaded but not yet activated). It uses strong signatures to
defeat attempts to avoid detection via malware variation, and can
securely detect and delete DLL-trojans. With generic crypter and binder
technology as well as heuristic analysis, AVG offers your computer the
most comprehensive detection of malware.
User friendly and intelligent operation —
In addition to an intuitive user interface, AVG offers easily
configured intelligent updating and simple scheduling of tasks.
Configuring program exceptions is straightforward and allows you to
exclude specified programs from AVG’s thorough scanning.
Complete set of analysis tools —
AVG Anti-Spyware allows you to check and control your computer with a
wide array of analysis tools such as viewers for processes,
connections, browser plugins, startup entries etc. It also features a
shredder for secure file deletion and a tool to harden your Windows
installation.
