AVG Antivirus Free

Hi again.  I have the AVG ANTIVIRUS FREE PLAN. When I do a smart scan does it detect viruses and allow me to remove them?

Hello David,
Thank you for contacting AVG Community Support.
We understand that you wish to know about the smart scan in AVG Antivirus free. We'll certainly check and help you out.
Yes, David. Smart Scan is a comprehensive scan in AVG Antitvirus that helps detect browser threats, outdated applications and drivers, hidden viruses, and other issues at the same time. Refer to the sections below to learn how to use the Smart Scan feature.
Please refer the article to know more about Smart scan feature: https://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?l=en&urlName=avg-run-antivirus-smart-scan&supportType=home (https://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?l=en&urlName=avg-run-antivirus-smart-scan&supportType=home)
To get the advanced features, I suggest you to subscribed for AVG Internet Security which helps to protect your devices from viruses, malware, phishing, and other threats. It scans your online mailboxes for suspicious emails, as well as control which IP addresses can remotely access your PC and helps block all other connection attempts.
You can also refer to the following article to know about the features of AVG Antivirus free: https://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?l=en&urlName=avg-antivirus-faq&q=internet+security+faqs&supportType=home (https://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?l=en&urlName=avg-antivirus-faq&q=internet+security+faqs&supportType=home)
Thank you and keep us updated.
