Thank you in advance!
AVG AntiVirus & Security and AVG Protection are two different products offered by AVG Technologies, a company that specializes in developing antivirus and internet security software. Here are the differences between the two:
AVG AntiVirus & Security: This is a standalone antivirus software that provides basic protection against viruses, malware, and other online threats. It includes features such as real-time scanning, web protection, email protection, and file shredding. AVG AntiVirus & Security is available for Windows, Mac, and Android platforms.
AVG Protection: This is a comprehensive internet security suite that includes antivirus, anti-malware, firewall, and other advanced security features. In addition to basic antivirus protection, AVG Protection includes additional features such as identity protection, payment protection, webcam protection, and advanced ransomware protection. AVG Protection is available for Windows and Mac platforms.
In summary, AVG AntiVirus & Security provides basic antivirus protection, while AVG Protection is a more comprehensive internet security suite that includes additional features for advanced security and privacy protection. Which product you choose will depend on your specific security needs and the level of protection you require.
AVG AntiVirus & Security, on the other hand, is a more focused app that specifically provides antivirus and anti-malware protection. It includes features like real-time scanning, anti-phishing protection, and a privacy advisor to help you stay safe online.
In terms of which app is lighter, it really depends on your device and usage habits. Both apps are designed to be lightweight and not take up too much system resources, but AVG AntiVirus & Security may be slightly lighter as it has a more narrow focus.
If you're looking for comprehensive protection and performance optimization, AVG Protection may be the way to go. However, if you only need basic antivirus and anti-malware protection, AVG AntiVirus & Security may be a better fit for you.
