VPN versus AVG Internet Security

I'm confused about the difference between VPN and AVG Internet Security.
Currently I have both. Am I still protected if I just choose AVG Internet Security?

Hello Carolin,

We're glad to clarify this for you.
The AVG Internet Security is a protection program that blocks viruses and malware, keeps your emails secure, protects your personal files, passwords & webcam from hackers.
Whereas the AVG Secure VPN is an application that enables you to connect to the internet via secure AVG VPN servers using an encrypted tunnel to protect your online activity from eavesdropping.
AVG Secure VPN can be used any time you want to connect to the internet with extra security and privacy. This is especially recommended when you are connected to a public or unsecured wireless network.
Both the products are entirely different & have different functionalities.
Let us know if you have further queries.

So, should a person use both apps on a iPhone?
