AVG vs. Avast | Our hunt for the best antivirus software

🔥 Get the very best antivirus 2024 discount deals right now 🔥

Now, if you’re a follower of antivirus software, you know that AVG has a long, complicated saga. Looking to Avast, a child of the ‘80s, founded back in 1988. Going on to grow its customer base so much they surpassed 1 million users by 2003, then skyrocketing to 435 million by 2017. Fast forward to the present day where you have two competing providers to choose from, thus, I present this AVG vs. Avast comparison…

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

🔥 AVG vs. Avast features:
While paid AVG plans include strong and helpful additional cybersecurity features such as enhanced firewalls, encryption tools to protect against ransomware, and shields against fake websites, Avast once again offers noticeably more. In addition to those features, Avast offers some perks I personally enjoy like a data file shredder, DNS web protection, Sandbox modes, as well as other cybersecurity bonuses like a VPN and password manager. In fairness, there’s a lot of overlap on the features side and all of the baseline essentials are present in both. But in terms of bonus features and other useful cybersecurity features, Avast definitely has the edge in my opinion.

💣 Avast vs AVG security practises:
In this department, we can really tell that these two siblings are related. Across the board, their AV-Tests showed top results and performed equally well. Both received “Top Product” certificates, returned a very low number of false positives, and received identical top marks from independent test labs. They’re probably drawing on the same malware databases, but no matter who you choose, you can rely on top protection.

🎯 The easiest antivirus to use?
Avast is dead simple to install and use. Navigation is simple and its bevy of features are organized into easy to understand categories. AVG’s install was arguably even lighter weight and it’s layout, organization, and usability was right on par. You can’t go wrong with either vendor here!

⭐ Which is the best antivirus?
When looking at the results, the better-rounded service against malware protection is Avast Antivirus. It confidently protects against most forms of cyber threats and adds quite a lot of features, as well.

Not only does it have more features on its free version, even as a paying customer you will get better subscription benefits. Extra touches like the Sandbox mode allow for much better usability options that are just impossible to pull off with AVG.

I take using AVG from around 2009 and never had any issue, so keep using it today.

[kurakura]

I like how thorough and sincere your reviews are. thank you! ❤

[MrSpaceMees]

my avg antivirus blocked the download link from the avast website...

[kriskotaro]

What I disliked about both antiviruses is that, THEY CAN BE CRACKED. And it's hard to trust an ANTIVIRUS that can be reverse engineered. It COMPLETELY DEFEATS THE PURPOSE.

[smikys]

We want this kind of video for Kaspersky too! <3

[HydroSpider-Man]

I was on the Harry Potter tour bus company's bus circuit... it's full of Avast tech...very cool indeed

[rhomis]

I use AVG, but I turn it off on occasion to do some tweaking once in a while. Sometimes I forget to turn it back on. You'd think that AVG would remind me on occasion to turn it back on, but NOOOO... instead, AVG would rather load endless ads as usual to upgrade without any mention that I turned the protection off a day ago.

[JFTN]

Avast Free version is annoying with ads for its premium version. AVG much less.

[LuchezaRStoineV]

I have been using AVG since I got my first PC and it's pretty good antivirus program. I have tried others but I don't like them.

[omerfarukkilinc]

im using avast premium security and its working my pc is better now

[supriyochatterjee]

Norton has acquired Avast, so hope to see Norton getting more powerful

[CAT_SAYS_NO]

Paid AVG has the same features as Avast now and it always had, or at least in the USA.

besides sandbox

[deeso]

hi, what is the best equivalent AV for Kaspersky, I really love the service of Kaspersky, but i don't want to use it anymore because it from Russia

[heckerhecker]

"restart to contain threat" - AVG ( 3 second before my computer turned into a nuclear bomb )

[jasonso]

Can you compare the differences between Avast Free Antivirus and Avast One?

[spede]

I stopped using Avast when the paid application started advertising for other avast products

[Carlaxy]

what do you think about AVG and on android?

[DanKoning]

AVG; please stop trying to scare me into a purchase; *I left Norton for that very reason.* Seems no matter what Norton sold me and installed, it just wouldn't keep me safe, so they kept trying to: speed up, clean up, fix up, save and protect me, from everything except aliens and meteors falling from the sky–though I suspect they were next on the list. *So far* I like the AVG I have, but understand–I will move to another provider if I'm not able to discern my own choices. Have nice day.
