Device Scans and Threat Checks
AVG AntiVirus & Security centers everyday protection on scans for installed apps, games, files, and device settings. A user can start a Smart Scan to look for malware and security weaknesses, then use the results to decide which item or setting needs attention. The workflow keeps threat checking understandable for people who want a quick health review instead of a long technical report.
This version also adds Privacy Advisor, automatic device cleaning, and automatic Wi-Fi threat scanning. Those additions connect security checks with practical maintenance: users can review privacy concerns, clear unnecessary data, and check a network for potential weaknesses as part of a regular phone routine.
Web Shield, Scam Guard, and Wi-Fi Safety
Web Shield and the Scam Guardian tools focus on safer browsing and communication. The app can scan links, warn about malicious or deceptive websites, and provide protection while users browse, bank, or shop. Call Guard and SMS Guard extend that focus to incoming calls and messages, helping users identify suspicious contact before they respond.
Wi-Fi Scanner checks network encryption and related connection conditions, while a speed check reports download and upload performance. Together, these tools suit travelers, remote workers, and anyone who moves between home, public, and unfamiliar networks and wants a clearer view of the connection before using it.
Privacy Controls for Apps, Photos, and Accounts
AVG AntiVirus & Security includes privacy tools that help protect information already stored on the phone. App Lock can place a PIN, pattern, or fingerprint barrier around selected apps, while Photo Vault keeps private pictures behind a separate protected space. App Insights and Privacy Advisor add context by showing requested permissions and potential privacy concerns across installed apps.
Hack Alerts watches email-linked accounts for breach warnings and helps users understand when exposed credentials may need attention. These features work well for people who want malware scanning alongside practical controls for photos, app access, account awareness, and permission decisions without switching between several security utilities.
Cleaner Tools for Everyday Android Care
The maintenance side of AVG AntiVirus & Security makes storage and routine checks easier to manage. Clean Junk analyzes the device, shows which categories are using space, and lets users remove unnecessary files. Automatic cleaning in this release gives that maintenance flow a more convenient place alongside threat and privacy checks.
Bottom navigation brings Home, Explore, Messages, and Account closer to the thumb, so users can move from a scan to feature discovery, alerts, or subscription settings with fewer menu steps. It is a practical fit for Android owners who want one dashboard for security reviews, storage housekeeping, network checks, and occasional account follow-up.
