freemium business model and offers
[245]
cloud-based malware detection and

hidden from hackers as all the activity

[265]
ransomware protection
[266]
well the free software is compatible

lightest engines of all the major

[286]
excellent choice even for older sluggish

against malicious websites and downloads
[393]
as well as phishing scams as soon as the

software detects suspicious activity it
[398]
feeds this data back to AVG database at

[454]
protection as it also displays a few
[456]
locked icons on the main dashboard to us
[459]
that might seem like a waste of space
[460]
but the company has its reasons you can
[463]
view both overall and web and email
[465]
