Choosing your anti-virus software can be tricky; there are so many programs out there and they all seem to promise exactly the same things. In this blog post we want to tell you a little bit more about our favourite; AVG.

Home Users:

AVG is available free and gives you security and peace of mind as you use the internet and social networks. The program automatically updates itself to deal with the latest threats, and has smart technology to ensure scans never slow you down when using your PC.

Business Users:

AVG offers a wide range of packages to suit your specific needs, with programs specialising in internet protection, server and data protection and email protection. The most commonly bought by our customers is the AVG Internet Security Business Edition which guarantees high level security for servers, desktops and laptops.

The Benefits of AVG:

1. Protective cloud technology, anti-spyware and anti-rootkit technology to make sure your business can’t receive or inadvertently pass on any threats
2. Data protection safeguards your identity and keeps your online transactions secure
3. Download and share files without risk of infection
4. Smart scanning means scans will never eat away at your resources or slow you down
5. AVG firewall to keep hackers out and your networks safe
6. Remotely apply AVG to all your computers and branches from one central location
7. See safety ratings of the websites you browse to, preventing you opening websites which may harm your network

Whichever anti-virus package you choose, keep yourself protected by running a daily full scan; it’s best to do this overnight so it doesn’t interfere with your work. Another good habit to get into is to check out the AVG Blog every so often to keep on top of the latest threats and be aware of what to look out for.
