What it does
AVG AntiVirus offers a free consumer antivirus with real-time malware protection and controls for malicious websites and email threats.
AVG's free antivirus page describes protection against malicious files, infected emails and scam websites. That combination is relevant to a shared home computer used for browsing and email rather than to a centrally administered business fleet. Use its security status and scan workflow to understand what the free installation covers. The page links to several platform products; verify the relevant download and controls for each device instead of treating one PC description as universal.
