AVG BreachGuard: Continuous Personal Data Protection and Identity-Theft Defense

AVG BreachGuard is a privacy-focused data-breach solution that continuously monitors the web for leaked personal information, alerts you when your data appears in breaches, and helps remove your details from third-party databases. Built by AVG, the tool combines automated dark web scanning, data-broker opt-out requests, account and password checks, and a browser extension to reduce the risk of identity theft and unwanted data collection.

Core Capabilities

• 24/7 Dark Web and Leak Monitoring: Automated scans look for exposed emails, passwords, credit card details, and other personal identifiers so you can act quickly when a breach occurs.
• Data Broker Removal: AVG sends opt-out requests to data brokers and advertisers to limit how widely your personal details are distributed on legal marketplaces.
• Real-Time Breach Alerts: Immediate notifications and practical remediation tips help you respond faster if your information appears in a breach.
• Account and Password Risk Checks: Scans your accounts to assess password strength and flags credentials that have been leaked.
• Privacy-Focused Browser Extension: Available for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera and Avast Secure Browser to block malicious sites, warn about phishing, and opt out advertisers automatically.
• Dashboard with Actionable Guidance: A clear, easy-to-use interface shows your online privacy status and step-by-step recommendations for reducing vulnerabilities.
