AVG Internet Security + AVG Secure VPN. . .why?

Why should I pay for the monthly AVG Internet Security feature when I have now signed up for the AVG Secure VPN? Is there a justifiable reason to have both? Does/doesn't having the AVG Secure VPN eliminate the need for the AVG Internet Security?

Hi Tina.
We're glad to clarify.

AVG Internet Security is our premium virus protection software which includes our intelligent antivirus features that detect viruses, malware, spyware, phishing, and other threats in real-time. Additionally includes Enhanced Firewall, Ransomware Protection, Password Protection, Webcam Protection, Sensitive Data Shield, Anti-Spam, and Fake Website Shield.

AVG Secure VPN is an application that enables you to connect to the internet via secure VPN servers using an encrypted tunnel. AVG Secure VPN can be used any time you want to connect to the internet with extra security and privacy, and is especially recommended when you are connected to a public or unsecured wireless network. AVG Secure VPN has servers in several locations, which means you can bypass geolocation restrictions, as well as access your favorite content while traveling.

To simply put it, AVG Internet Security protects your PC from within and AVG Secure VPN protects your device's identity on the web.
