With so many possible speed-up changes, it's good to know there's a rescue centre included that enables you to undo any tweaks. The laptop upon which we tested AVG Ultimate is a gaming machine, and therefore regularly tuned, but defraging the dual disc drives still took over an hour. It's thorough, and takes a while to complete all its tasks including disc defragmentation.

PC Tuneup is, however, included in the price. If you're into streaming TV shows from around the world or want top-notch privacy, you'll probably want to carefully select your VPN anyway, so this is no real loss, though the offer of a 30-day trial if you decline the AVG offering will give you a chance to check it out. The inevitable downside is that the integrated password manager, VPN and driver updater must all be purchased separately, but equivalents can be obtained for free or at low cost from elsewhere. You can sign up to AVG Ultimate on its website here. However, we're pleased to report that this is a much more complete product than Avast's Premier offering.ĪVG Ultimate is £79.99/ $99 per year, and comes with unlimited installs across PC, Mac and Android, which is a great deal for families. With AVG being owned by Avast, we initially had low expectations after reviewing Avast Premier and finding that some key modules were only ad-supported trial versions. Here, we review AVG Ultimate and compare it with the best antivirus for PC.

AVG Ultimate is a solid security suite that's well worth considering if you're in the market for new antivirus software.
