AVG antivirus Free edition no "auto protect" funtion?

I download the AVG free edition, because my Norton Anti Virus is out of date, and I cannot affort to update it yet. But in the AVG free edition, I can't find the function that protects you as soon as you surf the web (blocking worms and bugs as they come along). In Norton is called "auto protect", but there seem to be none of the

kind in AVG. It is under another name which I overlooked? Or it really doesn't provide that service?

AVG has the "resident shield" that should be running down in your system tray (small yellow, black, green, and red flag icon). This protects you as surf the internet from viruses, trojans, worms, etc. It does absolutely nothing for spyware, adware, browser hijackers, etc. That's not a fault of the program though. It is only an anti-virus software, not an "all-in-one" solution.

AVG does not have that feature (web scanning) Try the free Avast, it does scan incoming HTTP from the web and stop the baddies before they hit your hard drive.
