What good is AVG?

Without a high-quality and powerful antivirus, it is undesirable to go into the modern Internet. Otherwise you will not have time to blink an eye, as on your computer the whole brood of viruses will settle.

One of the most high-quality software products from this category, whose trump card is a decent heuristic and the availability of a free version, is the AVG antivirus.

Developers of one of the most popular advocates argue that the new version has become faster to scan the system and earlier respond to new types of threats. In the notes to the release of the new version, they promised that the users are waiting for a lot of interesting things. But is the antivirus AVG 2014 really different from the old releases with something radically new, or is it just an advertising trick?

Installation Notes

At once we will notice that if on your computer till now the last version of this software "dwells", persistently we advise it completely to remove. During the installation, you will immediately be prompted to install a firewall (if you select the Internet Security option).

If the application receives your positive response, then the corporate barrier in the way of intruders will be installed. In addition to its immediate functions, this useful tool will collect anonymous statistics about the threats found. Later, the data will be sent to the developers for the speedy formation of new anti-virus databases.

To ensure maximum security, AVG antivirus will immediately launch a scanner that will scan the most vulnerable areas of the computer for infections. During this process, you will appreciate the new interface of the application. By the way, it's better to choose a full scan, which guarantees absolute cleanliness of the hard drive.

Updated scanner

By the way, the scanner itself in its updated role produces the most pleasant impression. And the point here is not only that the appearance of the application has become more pleasant, but also that finally its speed has become really noticeable.

Let's say thanks to programmers who, after letters of especially "satisfied" users, have implemented support for multi-core processors and parallel computing.

Mail protection

If you are interested in checking encrypted mail traffic, then you will have to install Internet Security. In the settings you will be amazed that the number of mail service protocols available for verification has increased. Very pleased with the thoughtful parental control, which used to AVG antivirus did not spoil us.

Protecting children from dangerous information

Thanks to parental control, you can create your own whitelist of sites that your little fidget can access. Among other things, you can enter the regime of the general dictatorship on your computer and completely prohibit access to removable media, a local network and even specific folders on your PC. Of course, that before such draconian measures you will have to create a password so that your changes can not be canceled by a couple of clicks in the settings menu.

If you are interested in all this functionality, then the trial AVG antivirus will allow you to evaluate it for a month, without laying out the money for the program.

New firewall

The firewall has also been updated. Now you can fully configure the operation of both physical and logical devices that provide your travels through the Internet. All the subtle settings that used to be the only paid version are now available for free.

And more: illegal keys for AVG antivirus are now just looking silly, because the company regularly distributes free licenses for six months.
