AVG Technologies B.V. is a brand of cybersecurity, privacy, performance and utility software applications for desktop computers and mobile devices developed by Avast, a part of Gen Digital. As of 2026, AVG offers anti-virus, a secure browser, firewall, anti-tracking, VPN, and device performance software for Windows, MacOS, Android, and iOS. Many are offered as freeware, earning revenues from advertisers and from users that upgrade to paid versions to access more features.
AVG was founded in 1991 in Czechoslovakia. In the early 2000s, AVG expanded internationally and used money from venture capital investments to fund a series of acquisitions. AVG went public on the New York Stock Exchange in February 2012. Avast acquired AVG for $1.3 billion in July 2016.
In 2022, Avast and Norton became Gen Digital.
