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.

Client Services Manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Avast Business Review" July 1, 2025 3.0 Happy with the software and it helped having it be integrated onto our company mobile phones as well as laptops. The CPU problem was mostly with the older systems we had. Pros Very easy to set up and very user-friendly. Keeps our team protected from viruses and malware. We have also been able to integrate the software onto various mobile devices. Cons It has caused some minor CPU problems and slowed down some of our office laptops and phones. It has also occasionally flagged safe files as unsafe. 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 GG Gaurav G. Senior Web Analyst Food & Beverages Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Decent Anti Virus Solution for Home PC" February 28, 2020 3.0 My overall experience with AVG Internet Security has been satisfying with some caveats. The free version of software enables my computer to get protection against existing virus or malware attacks but not future unless I keep updating the virus definitions or upgrade to the paid version. If I update virus definitions or upgrade to paid, I end up paying more in acquiring more RAM or Hard Disk. Additionally, this software sometimes conflicts with firewall. So, certain software stop working as a result of its installation. Pros Using AVG Internet Security anti virus software, I was able to protect my business from financial losses caused as a result of virus attacks. The best part of AVG software is its ability to auto update anti virus definitions as new viruses and malware are being developed by hackers. So, I don't have to worry about protection against new viruses. I can also schedule a time during which the virus scan will run so my office work doesn't get impacted. I also appreciate its simple interface which makes it easy to use the software. Cons AVG Internet Security anti virus software has free and paid versions. The free version has limited features so it doesn't do as good a job of protecting against new viruses, malware and malicious threats as the paid one does. Reason: There is a limit on how often the virus definitions will be updated. After that limit is crossed, the user will keep getting prompts to download the paid version. The only way to uninstall the prompts is to uninstall the free version. Additionally, downloading the anti virus software slows down the computer if you have a limited random access memory and hard disk. So, you need to invest in higher memory computer which make the free version software not really free. Switched from [Norton AntiVirus](https://www.capterra.com/p/648/Norton-Security/) I switched from Norton Security to AVG Internet Security because it offers more scheduling and updating features at lower cost. Plus, AVG is more popular in the industry and has established itself as a top player in the anti virus software industry. Review Source SF Scott F. Director of IT Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Much More Than Just Free Protection" July 22, 2019 4.0 AVG has given me solid protection for an affordable price, and makes it easy to manage my home systems through their export and import settings feature, which covers every part of the software. In using their unlimited devices license I am able to deploy Internet Security on ALL my home systems, and configure them all in just seconds by just importing my config file and signing into my account. Pros The PAID version of AVG is much improved over the free version, beyond the obvious expanded abilities. Since switching I've seen a significant decrease in memory and cpu usage without affecting the software's abilities, which is a huge PRO over performance draining AV softwares. Another big pro is how easy they've made it to temporarily pause protection for random amounts of time, and they've made it MUCH easier to add exclusions for folders AND files than previous years. The export/import settings feature is a HUGE time saver, especially if you are using their unlimited systems version on multiple PCs. Cons Even though switching to the paid version reduces system usage a good bit, I still consider AVG too resource intensive. However, the biggest con is that they still try to sneak in extra software on you. In my case, they snuck in a trial version of their AVG Tune Up despite the fact that I did a custom install and that program wasn't shown as being available.

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 SR Silvia R. HR Assistant Environmental Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A cost friendly antivirus protection package." January 3, 2025 4.0 Since we introduced this software in our organisation we have been able to enhance malware detection in all our systems and ensure effective vulnerability management. Pros The software provides a comprehensive threat detection and viable solutions to sophisticated cyber attacks. Cons Product is verycomplexand its implementation requires trained and experienced professional which is an added cost. Review Source KM Kate M. Owner Consumer Goods Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "No more viruses! " November 3, 2024 5.0 I know for a fact it's protected my network from viruses. Since I've had it I haven't had one virus, as before without it, I had quit a few viruses. Avg warns me of threats from malicious websites before I visit it. Pros The amount of different features and tools for my business. Cons The price is a little high but not compared to another antivirus softwares for business. Review Source Emir H. Senior Product Manager Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "One of the most efficient and effective antivirus solutions" November 15, 2021 4.0 Ever since we started using this software we have felt quite safe and protected due to its continuous active scanning which boosts our confidence from time to time. Altogether, I greatly appreciate all of the services that have been rendered by this software as in a business world nowadays all of the malware attacks hold a very crucial position. In my opinion, it is one of the best and most compelling antivirus software out there. It is undoubtedly one of the perfect solutions available in the market currently. This software helps you protect yourself from all kinds of cyber and malware attacks that can typically harm your files which are immensely important to us. Pros AVG AntiVirus Business Edition is an Antivirus Software that has been my most favorite endpoint security software. It is being used in my whole organization for a long time now. It keeps all of our systems running and protected from all different types of malware attacks that are bound to happen. Undoubtedly, this is one of the most incredible tools because it has actually helped my organization quite a lot as confidentiality is one of the most crucial concerns while running an organization and AVG AntiVirus Business Edition has looked into this very critically. AVG AntiVirus Business Edition is a great software when it comes to monitoring all of the user accessibility plus all the traffic flows. Apart from that, This software has a fast scanning speed which is very great for us. Cons AVG AntiVirus Business Edition is very positive, it is also negative due to some of the limitations which I have found with my personal experience with this software. I personally think that this software demands more attention in its interface as it is lacking in many aspects. Review Source Mariana M. Analista Control de Calidad Used the software for: 2+ years ### "An easy-to-use tool that allows you to have your electronic equipment, at home or in your office fre" June 28, 2018 4.0 This software has been too valuable a tool for the security issue, keeps the electronic equipment always clean of malicious viruses, as well as family information, photos, documents, personal files and / or other tools will always be protected and will not be hacked. AVG will review Internet security programs, including periodic scans, scans of emails sent and received (including the addition of page attachments to emails indicating this), the ability to repair some virus-infected files, and a security vault virus, where the infected files are saved, a simile to a quarantine zone Pros It protects the team from malicious viruses that damage our computers and then it is hard to replace them because of the high cost. Protection to email and the web Protection for USB or any external recordable device Protection against hacker attacks Protection of privacy Protection to the family circle, when obtaining photos and private documents and not hacked from our equipment. Security in mobile equipment, you can download the application for cell phones Easy to install Scanning of emails sent and received (including adding footers to emails that indicate it), the ability to "repair" some files infected by viruses Cons Can only be used at home, without commercial use Does not include a "Game Mode" (silent detection) Always show an ad to buy the professional version The toolbar uninstaller does not work, but reinstalls the add-on if it is removed manually. While it has regular updates, the paid version has more priority in downloading signatures for the latest viruses You can not analyze units in the network in the work area, you have to make each computer and that means time consumption for the operator that runs it. Review Source Roman R. Senior Project Manager Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Be cautious when using it - it may give you a false sense of protection" September 8, 2019 2.0 With an evergrowing number of viruses, trojans, malware, I decided to install some antivirus software. Before buying one, I decided to try and compare some of them and my initial choice was AVG. For some time I liked it very much: its interface was very friendly and easy to use, it showed how it was working and gave you a full sense of protection. However, not long time after troubles started to develop. First, I received an important document that had some micro virus. AVG tried to cure it, was unsuccessful and DELETED the document without my consent! Then it found a virus inside a program I used daily. I used virustotal to check the program and no other antivirus found anything there, it was a clear false positive. Then I googled for antivirus reviews and I was shocked that by 3rd party reviews, AVG was able to find only about 60-70% of viruses (industry leaders find close to 99%). The last straw was that my computer started to run very slowly because of AVG. As a results, I removed it and started to use other antivirus software. Pros It's free and it's very easy to use - these are the only things that I liked about this antivirus. However, security is not something you'd like to save money on. Cons I have to say that I used AVG some time ago and probably they fixed some of these issues, but when I used it the problems were the following: \* It takes a lot of CPU and RAM. My computer was running so slow with AVG, that I had to remove it. Other antiviruses didn't create such a load. \* It's overall rate was very very low, it was able to find about 60-70% of known viruses. Yet it was giving some false positives too.

Owner Luxury Goods & Jewelry Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "It finds threats quickly and gets rid of them but uses alot of resources doing it" August 26, 2024 3.0 My overall experience with AVG Antivirus Buisness Edition was a toss up because it does find and get rid of threats quickly and removes them safely but at the same time it slowed our computers down to the point we finally had to delete it. Pros I like AVG Antivirus Buisness Edition because it stays current with new viruaes and malware and finds threats quickly beforw they can damage our network. Cons I dont like the fact that AVG Antivirus Buisness Edition slows down our computers anf would sometimes freeze up some older computers we used it on. To many graphics and background running processes. Review Source Leandro V. Diretor CEO Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "computer protection" September 17, 2021 5.0 In a world driven by the internet, the care to identify and protect my devices as computers and mobile devices, against malware "viruses" was very important to me and AVG Antivirus Business Edition contributed this help. Pros It's much easier to use includes good anti-malware protection and great optimization tools for notebook, computers in general. Cons there is great competition and there is antivirus that offer free service without inspiring after completing 30 days. Review Source RC Rodney C. Data Engineer Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "AVG is your virtual watch dog for strangers intruding on your personal digital space" March 17, 2022 4.0 AVG continues to be a leader in the cyber security landscape. I personally use this both at work and on my personal PC as I find that generally it seems to take less system resources when do scans. Other antivirus software seems to "force" me to take a coffee break when it starts to scan, while this does its job in the background like a janitor cleaning my garbage pail. I mean what else can you ask for? Pros This was pretty straight forward to implement, which is always a bonus from an IT perspective. The ease of rollout and management of this was one of the reasons why there are certain departments in my organization that has a preference for using this as their preferred anti virus. The background scans also seem to not take up as many system resources as well Cons From an anti virus perspective I dont actually have much complaints. Its there, updates on its own and is almost self regulating. Honestly not much to complain about as it seems to do its job Switched from [Norton AntiVirus](https://www.capterra.com/p/648/Norton-Security/) Faster scans and less system resources used Review Source Joseric M. Project Manager Utilities Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Better safe than sorry online" March 29, 2019 5.0 Browse the Internet with no fear.. AVG is a reliable security blanket. Just don't be too pushy with downloading and running fishy stuff which AVG prompts you not to. :) Pros I switch between Linux and Windows often both at work and at home. With Linux, I'm pretty confident against viruses, malware, etc. But when I use Windows, that's when I get really worried given the past tech infections I've experienced. Luckily, now I am more confident in browsing the Internet and downloading files online. AVG is my security blanket! AVG has been my savior and I can attest to it simply by looking at the infected or malicious files it has caught and quarantined even before it can mess up my system. I sometimes double check for false positives but so far so good with AVG. I also feel that through the years that I have used AVG, their dev seemed to have optimized their code well (or maybe it's just my devices getting more power/ram). In any case, I find that running AVG in the background does not affect my PC performance. Cons I started with the Free Version (which does not come with firewall or VPN). If you need these extras, you will have to subscribe for a fee. I moved to paid and the extras are worth the peace of mind.
