The Sewing Mom

Thanks to Parent Reviewers I was asked to download a free 1 year subscription to AVG Internet Security 2012 to use and review. Note: I received a 1 year free trial and no other compensation. This review is written by me and reflects my own personal opinions.

This morning, I downloaded the AVG Internet Security 2012 on to my daughter’s netbook. She uses her netbook mostly for homework assignments, email and social networking, particularly Facebook. I felt that her netbook and AVG were a perfect combination.

The download was super simple and took maybe 10 minutes time. AVG Internet Security 2012 is not just an anti-virus protector, but also helps block spam. What I really like is that it also protects this netbook from picking up malicious links from Facebook. With Facebook recently having been hacked, it made it clear that we do have to protect ourselves even from our favorite websites. The AVG security software also checks links as you surf the web, ensuring that websites are safe before they open up in your browser. With this netbook being something my daughter uses on a daily basis, I feel like I’m not just protecting her computer, but I’m protecting her. Isn’t that my job as a mom afterall?

AVG runs in the background and doesn’t slow down any of the operating systems, in fact, it can actually speed things up by keeping things clean. Take a look for yourself at AVG.com and get a free trial, or for a mere $54.99, get a 1 year subscription. For that low price, you also get customer service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This is truly the most comprehensive internet security software at the lowest price that I’ve ever found and I recommend it for personal use on all your computers and netbooks.
