Cons It has almost no negatives except for the large number of update notifications and it may cause the device to slow down a bit. Switched from [Norton AntiVirus](https://www.capterra.com/p/648/Norton-Security/) It was excellent but it is heavy or slow especially during the update Review Source EP Eli P. Centralized Services Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Cost-efficient, but Outdated AV Technology" May 27, 2025 3.0 Overall, I thought that AVG Antivirus Business Edition allowed for cost-efficient basic antivirus management, but the functionality of the program has been surpassed by newer products. Pros AVG Antivirus Business Edition includes and easily administered console that allows for simple and effective endpoint management. Cons The core functionality of AVG Antivirus Business Edition has been surpassed by newer, next-gen antivirus programs. Switched from [Symantec Endpoint Security](https://www.capterra.com/p/227396/Symantec-Endpoint-Protection/) We were getting too many virus infections when using Symantec software. Review Source CB Cristian B. psychologist Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Taking care of your PC/laptop has never been easier" January 11, 2025 4.0 I have been using AVG antivirus personally for quite some time. In 2024, the company began using AVG Antivirus Business Edition, in order to try to avoid possible infections with laptop and PC viruses of professionals, which occurred by constantly opening and reviewing files (word, pdf, excel, among others) that were sent both by students (from their private PCs) and by the exchange of files between different levels which could eventually contain viruses and infect multiple computers. At the moment I have found it quite easy to use and very adequate protection, warning me of possible malicious files and blocking some connections. Pros It is an easy-to-use antivirus that does not require great knowledge to configure it since with just installing and making a few clicks you can already have the maximum protection on your laptop or PC and thus not have to worry about software that wants to steal your data and hijack your OS. (with another antivirus it happened to me a couple of times) Cons So far I have not presented any inconveniences Switched from [Norton AntiVirus](https://www.capterra.com/p/648/Norton-Security/) The company decided to make the change due to several problems with PCs that were infected on a recurring basis, causing document losses and spending time on technical personnel to fix the computer OS.

The Business edition is very nice to have. Cons The price is a little up there in cost but it is worth it in my opinion. I think you can get a lot out of it for what you pay. Alternatives considered [SUPERAntiSpyware](https://www.capterra.com/p/59090/SUPERAntiSpyware/) Reason for choosing AVG Antivirus Business Edition I chose AVG because I had worked with it before and was familiar with it. Review Source JG Josh G. Director of Operations Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Effective malware and virus blocking tool" November 25, 2024 4.0 AVG has saved me many times over, blocking questionable sites from attempting to open millions of windows with spam content, and even catching a few viruses before they could infect me over the years. Pros Fantastic at blocking threats in real time before they can attack or infect my computer. Cons Slows my computer down a bit, and requires frequent restarts for updates. Alternatives considered [Norton AntiVirus](https://www.capterra.com/p/648/Norton-Security/) Reason for choosing AVG Antivirus Business Edition AVG was cheaper, and in my experience is equally effective Review Source PN Prosper N. Networking Computer Networking Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "reliable business security " August 12, 2025 4.0 the provide a reliable cybersecurity solution that is been well tailored for small to medium-size businesses the standout aspect for me is the cloud-base centralized management console, that simplifies the lives of IT administrators by allowing the remote monitoring and control of all protected devices from one dashboared Pros the protection, it offers strong multi-layered security against malware, viruses, spyware and phishing attacks- it really covers all major cyber threats, thee customer support is top good a bit and even more. Cons I will be talking about the cloud dependence for management because relying on cloud-base management means that a stable internet connection is indeed crucial, so connectivity issues could hinder management updates or task, the management needs to look in on this always Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Network and System Engineer Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great product capabilities" June 4, 2025 3.0 Pros Good at detecting exploitation behavior in applications, not just signatures and public exploits, sandboxing was great, detecting malicious vs benign payloads Cons Performance impact was significant, also had repeat licensing problems due to the nature of their seat count tracking vs our regular replacement of endpoints Review Source JT Jamie T. Practice Manager Veterinary Used the software for: 2+ years ### "AVG for business protection" March 26, 2025 5.0 It has been great and we have used AVG for many years. Pros It helps protect our many computers from viruses even with a lot of different employees having access Cons Sometimes the firewall blocker disrupted integrated programs Review Source JC John C. Video Editor Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "User since 2016" February 12, 2025 5.0 I've been using this since 2016 and I never encountered an issue. Pretty much everything you need for an Antivirus software. Pros You don't need to worry about losing your file to a virus if you use this. Solid security! Cons Sometimes give false positive, but you just need to manually allow it. Review Source CG Cristian G. Ristoratore Restaurants Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A good product" December 7, 2024 4.0 Overall I found it quite good, using free programs but I thought this was better Pros It was very easy to install the application Cons He did not always recognize the threats present Switched from [Avast Secure Browser](https://www.capterra.com/p/229120/Avast-Secure-Browser/) To try a new product, and see the differences Review Source AS Adam S. Founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good tool to protect against malware" June 9, 2024 5.0 In general, AVG does a good job at protecting all the computers in our workspace as well as monitoring our internet security. It was easy to set it up initially and it doesn't overly distract the team with too many suggestions. Pros What I like about AVG is its reliability. It doesn't have the most up-to-date design or the most fluid user experience, but when it comes to threats, all suspicious files get flagged and put in quarantine. Also, it scans the email attachments before I open them. Cons I think the design and user interface are a bit outdated. Sometimes it detected certain files as malware when in reality it is a false positive. Another issue is how slow the cloud version is. Switched from [Avast Ultimate Business Security](https://www.capterra.com/p/170318/Avast-Business-Antivirus-Pro-Plus/) I used Avast for years and wanted to try a new solution.

March 13, 2020 5.0 It has been a positive experience from day one using AVG. With most every aspect of our association needing the internet for the day-to-day workings of our organization, it's great to feel secure knowing that our computer and online activities are kept safe from hackers and malware. Pros AVG makes it super easy to keep our association's online activities safe. They offer a variety of budget-friendly products for internet security, such as for protecting our system from malware and viruses. The most convenient feature is the automatic updates ... we have peace of mind knowing we are protected from any new cyber threats that may come up. Cons With using AVG on a daily basis for more than 10 years, we have never had any issues or concerns ... really, there is nothing not to like about the AVG internet security products! Reason for choosing AVG Antivirus Business Edition As a long-time AVG happy customer, there is no reason to look into alternate internet security products. Switched from [Norton AntiVirus](https://www.capterra.com/p/648/Norton-Security/) We had been using Norton's, as it came installed with a computer we purchased. Even tho the computer was brand new, it seemed very slow when running basic programs, and was especially slow to boot up. After taking the computer to a tech person, we learned the slowness was caused by Norton's. It was the tech person who recommended AVG ... once he replaced Norton's with AVG, the computer no longer had any speed issues, and we've been using AVG ever since with every computer. Review Source RH Ross H. Graduate Assistant Higher Education Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "It's good but a little pricey" May 9, 2021 4.0 This is one of those solutions that is working well for small and medium businesses where maybe they just need something that is going to do the job well enough and don't have the skills or finance to have something with more options and features set-up. At least this is where I have seen the value of it. It sets up easily isn't too much of a hassle in the background and if you're just using standard software then there's unlikely to be any need for anything more than AVG for business. If the price is manageable, then it's a good solution. Pros AVG provides all the familiar options for customising the "when where and how" for scanning the incoming and outgoings from a business, and these are handled well. However the most noticeably good thing for us when we replaced our previous protection was the increase in responsiveness for our slightly aging machines. AVG seems to have gotten back to being relatively lightweight which is great! Cons I don't like the console, it's a bit difficult to navigate and some unintuitive buttons and options for controlling and containing things. Mostly these are fine and may even serve to make it difficult to do anything particularly dangerous or silly without knowing what you are doing but they can act like a hurdle if you do want to tinker around more than normal. Also we hated the aggressiveness of advertising in the free version.

Switched from [Norton AntiVirus](https://www.capterra.com/p/648/Norton-Security/) Norton was incredibly frustrating in terms of system resource use and pop up notifications Review Source GD Greg D. Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Safe from Hack Attacks" July 23, 2020 5.0 Like most - I'm on my computer constantly at work and at home. Before switching to AVG my computer suffered from numerous viruses and hacks. However, once I switched to AVG - I have been virus free and free from hacks as well. It's nice to start working with your computer each day - not worried about hacks or bugs infecting you space. I highly recommend AVG for work or personal computers! Pros The confidence this software gives me every single day is priceless. There are many features about AVG to like - It is offers complete customization and allows you to choose what type of scan or protection you are in need of most. Cons One of the things I like least about the software is they will occasionally offer different types of protection and once you click on it - you'll find it is an advertisement to purchase additional protection. That part can be a bit annoying - but it's easy to deal with for the peace of mind you are receiving. Switched from [Norton AntiVirus](https://www.capterra.com/p/648/Norton-Security/) My computer was constantly experiencing viruses and my computer was hacked multiple times - after being fed up with paying for protection that was practically non-existent - I switched to AVG. One thing I've noticed as well: AVG is compatible with all the software and functions on my computer. Previously, with Norton - Norton would not cooperate with various programs - which is highly annoying! Review Source BF Bria F. Ceo Online Media Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Simple and Easy " June 7, 2025 4.0 Feel safe, connected and protected from viruses. Simple to use and to implement in every day use. Great product. Pros Easy to use and feel protected....great product. So glad I chose to fo with this product to help with my business. Cons I like it all. I have never had an issue. It was fast to install and step by step instructions were right on. Review Source AT Amanda T. Ceo Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "AVG antivirus business to be safe and successful" September 17, 2024 5.0 Pros Overall protection AVG antivirus provides. I have used this product for many years in my home on my personal computers and now in my business. Cons I can honestly say there's nothing that I do not like about AVG antivirus Review Source Eugenio V. Owner Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "REVIEW for AVG Antivirus Business Edition" July 12, 2023 4.0 if you are looking for traditional AV protection for a company or organization at a very affordable cost, this product is a great option Pros the price is the best thing about this AV, it is a recognized brand and has the support of Avast technology (owner of the product) at a very competitive cost Cons cyberprotection capabilities are not as powerful and efficient as those of other corporate AV alternatives, let alone if we are comparing against EDR systems Alternatives considered [Avast Ultimate Business Security](https://www.capterra.com/p/170318/Avast-Business-Antivirus-Pro-Plus/) Review Source Matthew S. Engineer Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Anti-Virus Software" November 12, 2021 4.0 It was a very solid AV and the centralized web UI was great for monitoring and tracking active devices and status'. The installation experience was very easy and simple and the support from the technical team was also efficient and helpful. Pros We used AVG Anti-Virus for many years as a Service Provider and sold to our customer. Before the rename to Avast and after. It was a very professional tool and certainly did the job for what was required. A centralized management portal allowed devices to report in and have a centralized management area for viewing device status and definition update tracking. Remote support was also possible from here if configured correctly. It was a great tool and the access to support was very easy by simply emailing the support email address. SLA responses were good and fixes were almost always available quickly. Cons We installed on Windows Server editions and it did cause some issues in the past. The remote control features were also hit and miss at times.

So our business is been very secure. Cons It's very great product and it's very easy to use and implement in different systems through out the networks. Review Source Michael M. Producer, 1st Assistant Director, Unit Prod Manager Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I've used AVG Internet Security for many, many years and love it!" May 7, 2018 5.0 Keeps me safe. Does exactly what its supposed to do. I'd give this a 9 out of 10. The only reason they lose 1 point is because they like to solicit you to upgrade from the current package you have with them, which is just annoying. Otherwise they would have got a 10/10 from me! Pros I used to have McAfee but unfortunately it wasn't as effective as I had hoped. I do a lot of downloading and found my PC getting increasingly slower and slower until I discovered that my PC had been riddled with various malware + viruses. After reformatting my computer, I proceeded with AVG internet (recommended by a friend). It's been well over 5-7 years now that I've had AVG internet security and can proudly say that I've not once been infected with a virus. It really does a great job protecting you. I still download a lot (almost every day) and still, VIRUS FREE!! If you're on the fence about getting AVG, just do it. You really won't regret the decision. I know I haven't :) Cons The biggest con to AVG internet security is the annoying ads they run for you to purchase upgrades or extension software upgrades, such as AVG PC TuneUp. They ask me all the time if I want to fix my performance issues (which, I have none, by the way) and would honestly love it if they stopped soliciting me. I already have their software. Geez. Other than that--it does exactly what it's supposed to do: keep you protected.

Finally, I like this software and i will recommend this. Cons I totally like this software but all internet security software doing same mistake not without avg internet security, that if you download some app or software some words are some content they can't find which is very useful to us and its telling antivirus?.i downloaded one app of my bank and everytime use internet message from bank avg says its mallware .sometimes these softwares are not finding whioch is mallware and which is safe messages or safe content., times they will block good reputed websites also.my suggestion to these softwares you update your scanning cotents and add more contents into it Review Source Norma Estela R. Content Creator Broadcast Media Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "It is good but I could not say the best" October 29, 2021 4.0 It has helped me to optimize my devices and to detect malicious software; its price range is affordable and it is ideal for small businesses and people who do not require such sophisticated security, you can be sure that it will do the job well enough. It is very easy to set up and the interface is visually appealing. It is a very functional alternative. Pros It is an easily accessible software and I consider it a good option to start with; it contains tools such as the optimization of the computer where it is installed, automatic updates, good defense weapons against ransomware, malware and spyware. In addition, it is easy to configure and its price is within the market average. Cons In general I have had no problems during its time of use; it is not perfect, like all software on the market, but it delivers what it promises. In my opinion there are applications that are more comfortable in terms of functionality but AVG is not bad at all. Review Source Alvaro M. Account Manager Utilities Used the software for: 2+ years ### "AVG is fast and reliable!" July 17, 2018 5.0 Internet Security has never been more necessary in this millennial / digital age. AVG gives me the confidence in using my PC for internet research, downloading of files, and just about anything that may seem scary to infect my computer. False positives come very very rarely for me. Good threat detection and easy on my hardware. AVG Free is good enough, but go for the paid one if you need extra coverage and support! Pros I was first introduced to AVG back in college. It was the AV of choice for the entire university deployment. I was then part of the technical support team for the implementation. I find AVG to be fast and does not take a toll on system resources (e.g., others are memory hogs). I also like the interface which is intuitive and easy to operate. Back then, I found it easy to teach the (older) end-users. The updates come in regularly, and up-to-speed whenever new threats come about. It has good detection. I compared it with other more popular antivirus software, and it's detection is almost similar, if not more comprehensive. Cons AVG performs best with the basic protection.. other AV's have come up with extra features and better malware protection... something worth improving on for AVG to stay on top. Review Source Amy G. Graduate Teaching Assistant Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Efficient, yet tedious" October 16, 2018 3.0 As a free software, AVG is one of your best bets-- truly. I eventually switched because I got another software through my work. For the average user, who just browses and lightly streams, I think avg is more than sufficient enough to fit these needs. My main takeaway is to customize the email notifications to cut down on all the AVG notifications. It just gets tedious and tiresome. Pros AVG is extremely detailed in their searches for malware and viruses. Even for the free version, AVG always updates and this gives me confidence that my computer is updated against even the newest of threats. AVG provides detailed reports of their scans, and I appreciate how they communicate in plain and easy to understand language for the everyday user. For the 4 years I used the AVG Free and paid versions, I never had a major computer issue. Cons AVG provides way too many notifications, and this is extremely distracting. I get notifications through the software and via email. AVG pushes their paid version far too much, and it is a huge turn off as a consumer. I am always having to click away a notification that is of little importance. I wish the software was less attention consuming.
