Read Full Review: AVG Antivirus Free review - gHacks Tech News

Overview:
"One interesting fact about AVG is that it maintains two free antivirus solutions, namely AVG AntiVirus Free and AVG Protection Free. The core difference between both products is that Protection Free offers multi-device protection and controls using AVG Zen, an online dashboard.

AVG appears to be in a transition phase away from AntiVirus Free to Protection Free, as the latter is advertised on AVG's main website while the former is only available through back channels."​

Verdict:
"AVG's free offering feels a bit left behind especially when you browse the AVG website in search for it. While I liked the customization options, and the fact that you can disable modules that you don't require during installation, it is not clear how good its protective features really are due to a lack of recent tests.

While AVG Internet Security did well in most tests, it is unclear if the same engine is being used in the free offering."​
