Clicking the wrong link or accidentally downloading a sketchy file is terrifyingly easy nowadays. You don’t even need to be careless to catch a virus. Over 100 million people have already figured this out and slapped AVG AntiVirus FREE on their Android devices, and for good reason. It actually works.

A BULLETPROOF SHIELD FOR YOUR PHONE

This thing is an absolute powerhouse. It constantly runs quietly in the background, scanning your apps, games, and files in real time to nuke malicious content before it ever gets a chance to take root. It doesn’t just scan for old, outdated bugs, either. The built in Smart Scan actively digs deep into the hidden corners of your phone to hunt down vulnerabilities you didn’t even know were there.

LOCKING OUT SNOOPS AND CREEPS

We all have stuff on our phones we want to keep strictly private. Handing your unlocked device to a friend so they can look at a funny meme shouldn’t instantly trigger a massive panic attack.

AVG gives you a fully encrypted Photo Vault to hide your personal pictures securely out of sight. You also get a heavy duty App Lock, letting you slap a PIN, pattern, or fingerprint requirement on your most sensitive apps. Your banking app, your emails, your private messages nobody is opening them unless you specifically allow it. Add in the secure VPN to keep your browsing totally anonymous on public Wi Fi, and your digital footprint is basically a ghost.

STOPPING SCAMS DEAD IN THEIR TRACKS

The daily barrage of robotic scam calls and phishing texts is completely exhausting.

The Web Guard feature actively blocks malware infected links, nasty spyware, and adware while you browse, bank, or shop online. If you want to push the security even further, the advanced Scam Guardian tools actually intercept and block potential spam calls and texts automatically. It even scans individual links sent to you, telling you if a website is a total fake before your thumb even hits the screen.

CLEAN UP THE JUNK AND SPEED THINGS UP

Old school antivirus apps usually bogged your phone down and drained the battery. This one actively speeds it up.

The built in junk cleaner aggressively hunts down unnecessary cache files and hidden garbage eating up your storage space. It wipes the slate clean, freeing up precious gigabytes for things you actually care about. You can even run quick speed tests directly in the dashboard to make sure your Wi Fi provider isn’t secretly throttling your download speeds.

EXPOSING CREEPY APP PERMISSIONS

Have you ever wondered why a basic calculator app suddenly needs access to your microphone and contacts? It’s creepy.

The App Permissions advisor completely exposes what your installed apps are actually doing with your private data. It highlights glaring privacy issues so you can instantly revoke their access. Combine that with real time Hack Alerts which instantly ping you if your passwords end up in a massive data breach so you can change them immediately and you officially have zero excuses for walking around unprotected.
