AVG Internet Security—complete protection for everything you do.

Worried You Don't Have Enough Protection When You Go Online?

With AVG Internet Security, you get a worry-free experience every time you go online. Multiple layers of protection mean you don't have to worry about identity theft, spam or viruses. It'll even stop you visiting harmful sites before you can click on them.

Complete protection for everything you do on your computer—online or off. It's faster, smarter security that won't slow you down.

• Safely bank and shop online without fear of identity theft
• LinkScanner for safe web searching and surfing
• Safely exchange photos and files over instant messaging and social networks
• Safely download music, files, and applications
• Email inbox that's clear of phishers, spammers, and scammers
• High-efficiency virus scanner for great system performance

Two Vital Extra Layers of Protection You Won't Find in Any Other Security Software

LinkScanner takes over where anti-virus can't go—into the depths of web pages you haven't even visited yet. Whenever you're on the web, the moment you go to click on a link, LinkScanner analyzes the page behind that link to tell you whether there's something nasty hiding there.

For added peace of mind, you also get safety ratings for your Google, Yahoo!, and Bing/MSN search results.

Identity Protection makes sure your passwords, credit card information, bank account details, and other valuable data are safe from even the newest and most sophisticated threats. It's constantly on guard, watching to make sure no program on your PC is doing something it shouldn't.

If it finds something misbehaving, it simply shuts it down. So your data is safe.

Think about it. Just one software package to protect you from every trickster, scam artist, cybercriminal, hacker, and spammer lurking out there—including brand-new threats that haven't been identified by other security software companies.

5.0 out of 5 stars AVG Internet Security, March 22, 2010

This is a fantastic deal. I downloaded it with ease on both vista home premium over the trial version and xp homeover the avg free version. AVG does override your windows firewall and windows defender. In Vista I had to disable MS firewall and Defender upon prompting, giving you a choice of the firewall you want to use. In XP thee were less user choices presented during installation.

Three pieces x 2 years for avg internet security for under $35.? How is this getting a bad review at all? AVG trumps Norton, Mc Afee and K's suites and doesnt slow the machine down like they do. Less than 12 a machine for 2 years protection from a quality program. I don't understand why there isn't a run on this download.

This review is from: Internet Security 3PC-2Yr [Download] (Software Download)

I have been using AVG for 2 or 3 years. I had it on one computer, then I got it for a 2nd computer, and finally for a third computer. When it was time to renew, they put a big "pop up" on my screen saying LICENSE EXPIRED, RENEW NOW. But when I tried, they kept saying this license is invalid or has already been upgraded. So I had to go to the online chat. They found a different license # for me, and that let me get to the upgrade site, but they wanted me to buy a license for 3 computers. I only want one. Another trip to the online chat with Customer Service. "I'll have someone email you a price," they said. After 2 tries I got an email that said you're offered a chance to renew "offline" -- what? am I supposed to send my credit card in an email? The whole thing is clunky and suspicious. Can't they even protect their own website? Why the need to have such a round-about renewal process? It makes me wonder if their software will protect me.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good product, clunky Amazon download system, March 21, 2010

AVG continues to stand out as a great Internet Security package, extremely user-friendly and price conscious. This year a few have surpassed it in standardized efficacy tests, but not by much. For the price, this is my recommendation for friends who don't want to manage multiple free products and don't have a fortune to spend on AV products. It's a great bang for the buck.

The download however, works OK for most but could certainly be better. I bought this for my mother-in-law whose primary computer still runs Windows 2000 Pro. THE AMAZON DOWNLOAD SYSTEM WILL ONLY WORK IN WINDOWS XP & NEWER! Running it in XP, it seems to work fine, though it requires a download and installation of their program before the purchased download can begin. It's clunky but effective, and the only reason I marked this product down to 4-stars (it is after all a download-only version). The mark-down is through no fault of AVG however, simply the crude download process from Amazon.
