AVG Ultimate

AVG Ultimate is a consumer subscription bundle from Gen Digital. It combines AVG Internet Security, AVG TuneUp, AVG Secure VPN and AVG AntiTrack.

The multi-device edition supports up to 10 devices across Windows, macOS, Android and iOS. The included applications differ by platform. For example, AVG TuneUp is called AVG Cleaner on Android, while AVG Internet Security and AVG TuneUp aren’t available for iOS.

The subscription is intended for personal and family use. AVG states that it isn’t for business or commercial use.

AVG Internet Security provides real-time malware protection, ransomware protection, webcam protection, phishing protection, firewall capabilities and remote access protection on supported desktop platforms.

AVG Secure VPN encrypts internet traffic, including traffic on public Wi-Fi networks. AVG AntiTrack is designed to reduce online tracking by obscuring browser and device characteristics.

AVG TuneUp removes unnecessary files, identifies unused programs and provides performance-management tools. On Android, the related AVG Cleaner product focuses on storage cleanup, photo cleanup and battery management.

Mobile features vary by operating system. The multi-device subscription can activate the relevant applications on up to 10 devices simultaneously, subject to AVG’s platform-specific availability.

As listed on AVG’s United States store, AVG Ultimate costs $59.88 for the first year under the displayed promotion. The listed renewal comparison price is $149.99 per year, and AVG states that renewal prices can change.

The subscription renews automatically unless canceled. AVG provides a 30-day money-back guarantee for qualifying purchases. Pricing and promotional terms can vary by country, channel and purchase date.
