AVG’s premium plans offer more robust features, which provide more security overall.

AVG Ultimate also includes web and email security to protect against phishing and spam. Other features include a file shredder, safer banking, and protection against webcams.
AVG users can take advantage of a range of free features, such as a photo vault that stores images in an encoded format, and a cleaner to optimize Android devices through the removal of junk files.

It includes an identity protection feature which monitors password leaks, and the capability to remotely locate lost phones and more sophisticated antitheft tools such as camera traps that secretly captures photos of anyone who attempts to steal the device.
