AVG AntiVirus FREE is a useful antivirus software that protects your Windows PC from viruses, worms, Trojan horses, rootkits and other spyware when surfing the Web or searching for email. The analysis engine is fast and powerful and is updated daily. Compared to previous iterations, the scanning speed has been improved in the latest version. All this thanks to the priority system that optimizes resource consumption.

AVG AntiVirus Free also includes LinkScanner to assess the security of websites you visit and links on social networks such as Facebook or Twitter. However, it is known that this LinkScanner sometimes produces multiple false positives, so users cannot even visit real websites. For example, our TWC safety forums have been blocked by LinkSanner because there have been discussions that may not have been tasty for some. You should therefore take their LinkScanner recommendations with a pinch of salt. read more

unel. For those who frequently change hotspot, WiFi and routers, your system is most vulnerable to DNS leaks. Indeed, the Windows operating system prefers the DNS server hosted by the LAN gateway to the DNS server hosted by the VPN service. Finally, the DNS server hosted by the LAN gateway sends all addresses to Internet service providers who disclose your online activities.

Another major cause of a DNS leak is the lack of support for IPv6 addresses in the VPN. As you know, IP4 addresses are gradually being replaced by IPv6 and the World Wide Web is still in the transition phase from IPv4 to IPv6, so if your VPN does not support IPv6, an IPv6 address request is first sent to the channel to convert IPv4 to IPv6. This address conversion will eventually bypass the VPN-safe tunnel and reveal all online activities that lead to DNS leaks. read more
