Features in detail
100% virus detection —
AVG’s scanning engine has received numerous awards for its excellent
detection of “in the wild” viruses, including the VB100% award. Its
unique combination of detection methods provides full protection
against viruses, worms and trojans.
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 infected files.
Flexible intelligent scanning —
The AVG Resident Shield can include/exclude files from being scanned
based on individual file extensions and can handle exceptions for
potentially unwanted programs such as adware.
Full e-mail protection —
AVG checks every e-mail sent or received, providing full protection
from e-mail-borne threats. AVG supports all leading e-mail clients,
including MS Outlook, The bat!, Eudora, and all other SMTP/POP3-based
e-mail clients, such as Outlook Express. Encrypted connections using
SSL are also supported.
Automatic threat handling — AVG can automatically heal or remove infected files and other threats such as trojans and worms.
Powerful scheduling —
AVG automatically provides recommended daily schedules for scanning and
updating, and also allows you to create custom-scheduled events.
Multiple language support — No need to buy a special language version.
