rate_review Editor's Take

LogicAPK editorial

AVG Protection sits at 4.7 stars across 457.1 thousand ratings on Google Play, and is still building an audience.

That score is hard to fake on a utility app — it usually signals a tool that stays out of your way, does one thing well, and doesn't pepper you with upsells.

AVG Mobile is the publisher behind this release; we'd suggest taking a quick look at their other titles on Google Play if the style clicks with you. The last visible update lands 2025-11-10, which is a small but useful signal that the team is still shipping fixes rather than treating the app as abandoned.
