So here's my take on AVG AntiVirus & Security. I've tested a bunch of antivirus and security apps, and this one's definitely one of the more comprehensive ones out there. The real-time scanning, app locking, and photo vault features are super handy. It's also nice that you can use the VPN without having to pay. The only downsides are that it can slow down your phone a bit and the ads can get intrusive if you don't upgrade. But if you want an all-in-one security solution for your Android device, this is a pretty solid option.

Description

Been using AVG AntiVirus & Security for a couple months now. It’s basically an all-in-one security app that protects your Android device from viruses, malware, and other online threats. Pretty solid if you’re into that kind of thing.

Here’s what you can do: scan apps and files in real-time, clean up unnecessary files to free up space, lock sensitive apps with a PIN or fingerprint, hide private photos in an encrypted vault, and even check the speed of your WiFi network. There’s also a built-in VPN to help you stay anonymous online. Took me a while to figure out all the features but it’s pretty useful once you get the hang of it.

Look, if you’re worried about keeping your phone and data secure, you’ll probably like this app. It’s not perfect – the ads can get a bit annoying if you don’t pay for the premium version. But overall, it does a great job of protecting your device and I’d recommend giving it a shot.

I am giving the free version 3 stars only because the app will send notifications constantly to do things that require the premium version. I'm not trying to get that...

Effective antivirus, but after their pop up advertising started in March 2019, I've uninstalled the app. Ads popping up literally every 10 minutes, stalling apps actively being used, black screens...
