Main Window
Component Settings
From the component settings page you can turn shields and
other components on and off or, in some cases, dig in for detailed
configuration.
Extra Cost Options
If you opt to fix issues after a performance scan, AVG asks
for an additional subscription. It also suggests you remedy privacy issues by
purchasing AVG Secure VPN.
Firewall Settings
AVG's firewall prevents attack from outside and ensures
local programs don't misuse your internet connection. By default, it automatically
decides what level of network permission each program should receive, sparing
you a blizzard of firewall confirmation popups.
Firewall Popup
For more granular control, you can change the firewall's program
control to ask you for confirmation when a new, unknown program tries to use
the network. Here it's worried about Google Updater.
Firewall Rules
Whenever AVG automatically decides on a program's
permission, it records its decision in the form of a rule. You can peruse the
list of programs, or use the list to fix any mistakes you might have made
responding to firewall popups.
Ransomware Protection
The Ransomware Protection component prevents unauthorized
changes to specific types of files in important folders. You can tweak the file
types and folders covered, if necessary.
Ransomware Blocked
Here AVG prepares to prevent a real-world ransomware threat
from damaging important files.
Spam Filter Settings
If you're one of those rare people who needs a local spam
filter, AVG can do the job.
Webcam Choices
By default, AVG lets known, trusted programs use the webcam,
and asks you what to do when an unknown program tries to peek. You can set it
to require confirmation on every use of the webcam, or disable the webcam
entirely.
Webcam Warning
In Strict mode, AVG has blocked Skype's use of the webcam
pending permission. The fact that it says the app involved is svchost.exe might
confuse some users.
