[tarekma7]

Independent testing lab AV-Comparatives is the consumer’s best friend. It regularly evaluates leading brand cybersecurity products to report truthfully on the claims they make, and whether or not they deliver. Then, at the end of the year, it issues an annual report summarizing the year’s learnings. That report has just been released, and we’re proud to announce that AVG AntiVirus Free earned one of the coveted “Top Rated Product” awards.

Top Rated Product
Throughout the year, AVG consistently received good reviews for so many of its features, including:

Advanced Award — March 2017 Malware Protection Test
Advanced+ Award — May 2017 Performance Test
Advanced+ Award — July 2017 Real-World Protection Test
Advanced+ Award — September 2017 Malware Protection Test
Advanced+ Award — October 2017 Performance Test
Advanced+ Award — December 2017 Real-World Protection Test
These awards were given after AVG AntiVirus Free was tested for its ability to:

Detect and identify thousands of malicious programs
Remove malware that had already infected the PC
Protect against real-world online threats
Maintain this top-tier protection without impacting PC performance
AV-Comparatives conducts their tests under realistic internet conditions, using recent malware samples. To score well, the software must provide swift and effective protection without producing too many false alarms, and without relying on the user to decide if a file is harmful or not. We have earned accolades in this arena because our software offers solid protection with a fully loaded AI-based security network.

In fact, AVG AntiVirus Free scored 99% or above in each of AV-Comparison’s monthly real-world protection tests throughout the year. This consistency is key to providing our users with a reliable antivirus solution.
