AVG LinkScanner’s® real-time protection
AVG Search-Shield places safety ratings next to each link in your search results, letting you know which sites can be trusted, while AVG Surf-Shield checks web pages in real time, identifying malicious websites before you visit them.
AVG Search-Shield works with Google, Yahoo!, Bing and other selected search providers by placing a safety rating next to each link, letting you know which sites can be trusted and which are to be avoided. If it detects something suspicious, it prevents you from visiting the site. AVG Surf-Shield actively checks web pages in real-time every time you click a link or enter a web address directly into your browser.
Keep tough threats out AVG Anti-Virus, AVG Protective Cloud Technology, AVG Anti-Spyware and AVG Community Protection Network AVG’s core layers of protection make sure you can’t receive or unintentionally spread even the toughest threats.
AVG Protective Cloud Technology, new for 2011, constantly carries out tests ‘in the cloud’ over the internet to identify the latest emerging threats. Once we have identified threats we develop solutions and then update AVG on your computer in near real-time.
AVG Community Protection Network is new for 2011 and is like an online neighborhood watch, helping everyone in the online community to protect each other. Information about the latest threats is collected from customers who choose to participate in the product improvement program and shared with the community to make sure everyone receives the best possible protection.
AVG Anti-Spyware protects you from spyware and adware – the same kind of malware that is often very difficult to remove, which is why we prevent it from getting to you in the first place.
