[QUOTE="Shadowra, post: 1091694, member: 92939"] AVG is a well-known antivirus in the world of computer security. Bought out by Avast in 2016 and part of the Gen company since 2019 (Norton, Avast/AVG, Avira, BullGuard) , the software struggles to find its identity as it is simply a copy of Avast. Let's see how it fares. [MEDIA=odysee]id=29ff5ab3f190250e20fc30422b06c014f247bf83;name=AVG-Internet-Security-2024-2;path=%40Shadowra%3Af%2FAVG-Internet-Security-2024-2%3A2[/MEDIA] User interface : The interface is clearly an Avast clone! Same typography, same operation, same shield. But it's still quite sober and bright. RAM consumption: This is mixed, but tends to be CPU-intensive. [COLOR=rgb(97, 189, 109)]Web protection: 7/7[/COLOR] AVG has blocked all malicious URLs. One file almost got through but was blocked by AVG's anti-exploit shield! 3 URLs died, summer isn't helping URL research at the moment... [COLOR=rgb(97, 189, 109)]Fake crack : 1/1[/COLOR] AVG blocked the file directly with Cyber-Capture. [COLOR=rgb(97, 189, 109)]Malware Pack : Remaining 16 files out of 112.[/COLOR] AVG does a good job on analysis. Several VBS and EXE files remain. All the VBSs were blocked at runtime by AVG, I think they were known in the Avast Cloud. Most of the remaining EXE files were defective and therefore could not be launched. Only 1 file got through but caused no damage. Final scan : AVG : 0 Malwarebytes : 0 NPE : 0 Final opinion: AVG is an excellent, solid and reliable protection package. Based on Avast know-how, it offers highly effective protection with normal RAM consumption. However, since it was bought out by Avast and now by Gen, I feel that AVG has lost its image, as it has become an identical copy of Avast! The protection, ancillary tools and other features are the same... Recommendable. [USER=97936]@nickstar1[/USER] request [/QUOTE]
