- AVG's Checking Engine uses a unique combination of heuristic analysis and generic detection methods to detect all know viruses.

- Flexible firewall rules allow the user to specify if traffic should be always allowed / blocked or if the user should be prompted to decide. Firewall rules can be applied to individual programs, so the user can give more access to trusted programs whilst strictly controlling access for other software.

- AVG Firewall supports multi-user logging in Windows XP and, by default, blocks all communication if no user is logged in, providing maximum security against intrusions.
- The Stop All Traffic feature allows the user to temporarily block all traffic to and from the computer. The Allow Traffic button will resume traffic flow according to the normal operating rules.
- AVG Firewall provides full logging facilities to log all firewall activities. Firewall logs can be viewed in standard or advanced mode.
