The free version provides web and email security and identity theft monitoring for passwords that were leaked photo vaulting, as well as AVG Cleaner, which can help speed up your device by clearing junk data. The premium version boosts the security features with webcam and ransomware protection as well as safer banking and an enhanced firewall. It also comes with performance tuning feature that speeds up your PC and helps extend battery life, and an VPN for online privacy.
