AVG functions similarly to other antivirus programs and may encounter issues (like some others did). As mentioned, please let me know if you need help—I’ll take care of it. AVG consumes more RAM than Avast but only a slight increase, around 15 MB. Avast tends to significantly slow down your system due to high CPU usage. AVG works fine!

why do you even need a screen saver? for me, automatic sleep is enough. if i don’t use my pc in 10 minutes, the monitor will shut down automatically. i use it because i believe it helps extend the life of my display. with all these options—4k-8k, cheap HD, full HD, LED, AMOLED, IPS—I still prefer my 18-inch 1366x768 TN model.

I'm not sure, perhaps many individuals were just curious. Indeed, most screensavers are considered malware, yet many people view them as stylish.

I wasn't aware of that before. At least I understand now.

Absolutely, it's wise to be aware that even though antiviruses are essential, common sense and knowledge are equally crucial. Feel free to ask questions and learn from others—sharing insights helps build understanding. My suggestion is to avoid screensavers or live wallpapers, as they can easily trick users. These often hide Trojan Horse downloaders that not only infect your system but also create vulnerabilities. Using AVG emulator is important because it can trigger more malware. Malware has evolved beyond simple storage in Appdata; now it frequently embeds itself deeper, even in the master boot record. It's better to block threats early before they enter. I'm surprised how many people began using AVG after my guidance. When I first joined this forum, everyone dismissed AVG as useless due to a lack of insight. Now, AVG and Avast are quite comparable, and I hope more people grasp the true value of antivirus protection.

I rely on AVG on my phone and Avast+Malwarebytes for my PC. I don’t use screensavers, even though I think they’re a bit bothersome.

It's a smart idea to keep your phone protected with antivirus software. Unless you're using root access or downloading APKs from the web, traditional antivirus protection is usually sufficient. For your PC, Avast and Mbam work well—just make sure you've customized MBAM exclusions in Avast to avoid conflicts. It's also a good practice to enable hardend mode in Avast; this helps block unknown files not on the trusted list. Since the free version of Avast lacks proactive detection features, hardend mode provides a solid improvement.

I remain grounded. I’ll follow your idea and switch to hardened mode.

Strengthened settings also present challenges.

Hardend mode definitely boosts protection. You're asking about possible problems. If you mean false alarms, they exist but are uncommon unless you're using unusual software since the trusted list is extensive. I haven't heard of any stability problems or bugs. Many users who rely on Avast have turned on hardend and never experienced false positives. Are you referring to stability concerns or general false alerts? The higher setting can trigger more alerts, which some people find annoying.
