AVG Technologies’ Internet security products, AVG 9.0, would be generally available in the market from the current month. Boosted by significant enhancements in speed and levels of protection, AVG 9.0 is also easier to use and improves end-user experience.
“AVG 9.0 will provide home computer users with a more powerful and more streamlined solution that adds protection without impacting user experience, taking us back to our core strength of low impact, high-performance security,” said J. R. Smith, CEO, AVG Technologies. “We have always believed that everyone has the right to a safe online experience. With AVG 9.0, we are providing first-class assistance to our users in their development of tools and measures for their safety from all of the threats posed by cybercriminals and identity thieves, whether they are working, playing, banking or shopping on the web.”
Revolutionary in AVG 9.0 is the integration between the Resident Shield, firewall, and identity protection modules. This enables the modules to share malware information with each other, increasing AVG’s ability to detect and remove most malicious types of malware, rootkits, and ID Theft threats. Additionally, AVG 9.0 delivers improved anti-phishing detection through enhancements to its LinkScanner offering.
AVG 9.0 also delivers a solution that is laser focussed on user concerns and protection, and is marked by a new look and feel designed to significantly improve user experience and ease of use. Finally, it is also significantly easier for users to detect and remove any third-party security product that could cause conflicts and interfere with the user’s level of protection.
