The main components of AVG Internet Security:
• Anti-Virus (Kaspersky)
Antivirus performs detection of viruses, worms and Trojans, as well as executable files and libraries in DLL, which can be potentially unwanted within the system. Anti-Virus also has an internal virus database.
• Anti-Spyware (antispyware)
Anti-Spyware protects your computer from all types of malware such as spyware that collects data from the computer, and advertising programs.
• Anti-Rootkit (Antirukit)
Anti-Rootkit scans for dangerous rootkits hidden in applications, disks, or the DLL. A rootkit is a package of malware that allows an attacker to gain access to the level of administration or to the entire network.
• Firewall (firewall)
Firewall defines rules to protect your computer from external attacks, mainly from the Internet, and managed (allow / restrict) connections on each network port. If the Firewall detects intrusion attempts, immediately blocks its components and does not allow an attacker to gain access to the computer.
• Anti-Spam (Spam)
Anti-Spam checks all incoming email. mail and notes unwanted messages as spam. The component uses several methods of analysis, ensuring the highest possible level of protection.
• LinkScanner (scanner links)
Includes LinkScanner Active Surf-Shield and Search-Shield. Active Surf-Shield prevents accidental contamination from unwanted automatic downloads and other exploits, but also checks the security of visited web pages. Search-Shield works with search services, Google, Yahoo, Bing and others to provide opinions on the safety of all search results in real time.
