AVG Internet Security Features:
Features not included in AVG Anti-Virus
Identity Protection safeguards personal information
AVG Identity Protection is an extra layer of defence included with AVG Internet Security 9.0. It uses advanced behavioural technology to prevent identity theft, plus detect and block new and unknown threats.
Enhanced Firewall keeps intruders out and sensitive information in
AVG's integrated two-way firewall controls all incoming and outgoing network connections. First, it creates a secure perimeter to block cyber criminal and hacker attacks from getting to your PC via your Internet and network connections. Second, it stops malicious programs from sending sensitive information out from your PC without your permission.
Anti-Spam keeps your mailbox clean
Spam, the electronic version of junk mail, now accounts for more than 70% of all e-mail messages. AVG Anti-Spam will automatically filter out annoying, dangerous and fraudulent e-mail messages from your inbox.
Combines different detection methods for complete security
Signature scaning, heuristic analysis, generic detection and behaviour monitoring make sure that no malware item stays undetected.
Easy performance tuning
The provided System Tools let you easily access and configure advanced system settings.
AVG Internet Security and AVG Anti-Virus Features:
LinkScanner® stops web exploit threats before they become a problem
The all-new AVG LinkScanner® technology proactively protects all of your online activities against web exploits and drive-by downloads in real time.
- Safe Search — AVG LinkScanner Search-Shield scans Google, Yahoo! and MSN search results in real-time and places safety ratings next to each link.
- Safe Surf — AVG LinkScanner Active Surf-Shield scans each and every web page and every link on each page before you open them to ensure they are safe.
Online Shield checks downloads and files exchanges for malware
AVG Online Shield checks network traffic for possible threats and disallows dangerous connections. It protects you against accidentally downloading infected files or exchanging infected files over ICQ, MSN and Windows Live instant messaging.
Advanced Anti-Rootkit ensures the toughest threats are kept out
Anti-Rootkit scans for dangerous known rootkits hidden inside applications, drivers and Windows DLL libraries. Rootkits are generally very well hidden in an operating system which makes them hard to detect or remove by regular security tools.
Game Mode ensures uniterrupted game play, presentations and movies
When you're using a full-screen application like computer games, presentation software, or watching movies, AVG Game Mode ensures you won't be interrupted.
Full real-time malware protection
Protects you against script, macro, file and boot sector viruses, worms, Trojans, spyware and adware. Scans your e-mails in real-time and even checks compressed files — including proactive protection functions.
E-mail Scanner checks your electronic mailbox
All in- and outgoing e-mails are analysed. Supports all leading e-mail clients, including MS Outlook, The Bat! and Eudora as well as all other SMTP-/POP3-based e-mail clients as e.g. Outlook Express. SSL-encrypted connection are supported, too.
Resident Shield deactivates viruses
The AVG Resident Shield provides maximum protection by scanning every file opened, executed, or saved. It also prevents the opening or executing of infected files.
Easy-to-use, automated protection
Real-time protection, automatic updates, low-impact background scanning for online threats, and instant quarantining or removal of infected files ensures maximum protection. Every interaction between your computer and the Internet is monitored, so nothing can get onto your system without your knowledge. AVG scans in real time:
- All files including documents, pictures and applications
- E-mails (all major email programs like MS Outlook and Thunderbird supported)
- Instant messaging and P2P communications
- File downloads and online transactions such as shopping and banking
- Search results and any other links you click on
