AVG Internet Security 19.6.3098

Anybody who's been on the internet for a while must have at least heard the term spyware. AVG Internet Security wants to make sure you have your back covered, but it also wants you to pay a hefty price to get the full benefit. That's a hard ask, considering how many anti-spyware programs out there are free nowadays. It promises a whole lot of features to make up for it, but does it deliver?

The interface looks extremely clean and gives off a strong first impression. AVG Internet Security main window tells you at a glance what every component of the suite does in a way that's understandable to even the most basic of beginners. Anyone who's used a computer before will understand. The main menu is labeled clearly, there's a back button that takes you...well, back, and you can set up specific types of scans near instantly with the giant gear icon that screams settings.

The worst part about this program, though, has to be how hard it's trying to sell itself 24/7. During installation, you will need to uncheck a ton of boxes telling the company that, no, you don't want their browser extension or their search engine. You can't do a regular scan without the program popping up an ad telling you to download the trial of another program called "AVG PC Tuneup". 

The constant addvertising is incredibly irritating, but the program itself is solid. If you want a good anti-virus program, then take a look at AVG Internet Security.
