AVG Zen 3.2

Manage multiple devices under one AVG account using this app
AVG is one of the top developer of antivirus software protection for a wide variety of devices and OSes. The company also launched an application that connects all of your devices under one AVG account and lets you improve their performance and protection with one tap of a button. The app is quite neat, since it lets you create a network of all of your devices and have them connected at all times. Still, it could use some more features.

Easy-to-use interface with features at hand

AVG Zen opens with a tutorial featuring all the tools that you can access using this app. The first thing that you'll need to do is register with an account, so that the app can connect all of your devices. The interface is really easy-to-use, you'll get the hang of it fast especially since it has a side menu that provides you with access to all sections inside the app.

It has a FAQ section as well but you'll need to open it in a separate browser. AVG Zen provides users with remote access to all of their devices, as long as you link them to your AVG account.

Create your own network

The first device on your network is your mobile phone, you can send invitations to connect all of your other devices, including your tablet, Windows PC, Mac and laptop. Click on the link to download and install AVG Zen on your desired device and link it to you AVG email address.

The whole process takes only a few minutes, depending on your internet connection. You can name devices however you want and connect them under your account, so that you could manage them remotely.

Improve the performance of your devices

The whole purpose of this app is to help you remotely improve the performance of your devices and keep them protected from malware. However, in order to do so you must have AVG software installed on them. The app is perfect for avid AVG users, but not so useful for those who don't prefer AVG as their default antivirus app.

You can launch scans on your PC directly from your phone, check scan results and threats or enhance their privacy. You can also get support by checking out official AVG websites. You'll get multiple notifications on all of your devices regarding any updates and changes that you've made.
