Overview
AVG Family Safety is a software program developed by AVG Technologies. The most common release is 10.2.0, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. During setup, the program creates a startup registration point in Windows in order to automatically start when any user boots the PC.

Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The setup package generally installs about 37 files and is usually about 12.44 MB (13,047,581 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 7 (SP1) and Windows 10.
