AVG Security - Prevention
AVG is one
of the world's most recognizable names in online threat protection,
with millions of people around the world relying on AVG to keep them
safe.
Threats today go way beyond viruses and adapt quickly to new security measures in a desperate attempt to stay one step ahead. They're still trying.
The main reason to use AVG is the drive-by-download protection it has. No other security comes close to protecting the system from these types of attacks.
According to Google, 1 in 1000 Web pages is delivering some kind of malicious code, mainly in the form of exploits delivered by drive-by downloads. That translates to something like 70,000 poisoned pages ready and waiting to infect visitors on any given day.
Google also found that antivirus programs could not detect all of these threats. The best of them detected only 70% of the drive-by downloads. And in the case of the exploit shown in our latest video, users are actually blocked from contacting or downloading updates from antivirus companies
AVG Free edition is a good way to provide free security. The main down fall to this, no rootkit detection and or pervention. Most new aged infections include a rootkit, which means your not going to be protected completely with the free edition.
We recommend the paid edition, the basic edition works good, but doesn't come with a firewall. That to is ok, because we recommend using the windows firewall.
