AVG Internet Security 2026 - 12 months / 1 PC

AVG Internet Security: antivirus with firewall and webcam protection

AVG Internet Security is AVG's paid security suite. In addition to real-time virus protection, it includes an enhanced firewall, ransomware protection, webcam protection and features against fake websites and dangerous email attachments. The version for 1 PC with a term of 12 months is intended for one Windows computer.

Protection against malware and fake websites

The antivirus protection is aimed at viruses, ransomware, spyware and other malware. Behavior Shield and AI-based detection watch for patterns that indicate new, previously unknown malicious programs. Link Scanner and Web Shield check links and downloads, Email Shield examines attachments, and protection against fake websites is aimed at sites that imitate a bank, for example.

With Ransomware Protection, you specify which applications are allowed to modify files in protected folders. This allows you, for example, to shield the folder containing photos or invoices from unauthorised changes by unknown programs.

Firewall, privacy and network

The Enhanced Firewall blocks unauthorised access to files and photos on the network. Webcam Protection prevents suspicious apps from using the camera, and Passwords Protection protects the passwords stored in the browser. Wi-Fi Guard warns about insecure networks, for example at a public hotspot. AVG also reports when an email address appears in a known data breach. With Data Shredder, files can be deleted irreversibly, and the toolbar remover removes unwanted browser toolbars.

Difference from AVG Ultimate

AVG Ultimate includes AVG Internet Security plus the AVG Secure VPN, the AVG TuneUp maintenance program and AVG AntiTrack against tracking in the browser. If you would also like to use these applications, choose AVG Ultimate (12 months, 1 device).
