AVG has made sure that they care about the privacy of their customers. Therefore, they have included many features that help combat the risk of having your identity and/or private information leaked by implementing lock sensitive application features allowing users to lock apps, and an encrypted vault to move your most private data to. This in my opinion, sets this application to a higher level in comparison to competitors.
