As the nature of threats evolve, so must the nature of protection. As we move from an age of adolescent computer virus writers to an age of highly organized criminals devising ways to steal your identity, credit card information or banking details - all for financial gain, it is more important than ever to stop these things before they happen. Today, all you have to do is open a website or click on a web link to become infected or compromised.
AVG ensures your safety while you search or surf the net, download music, documents and pictures, send emails or instant message by scanning documents, files, Web pages and Web links before you open them. Unlike other security products, our unique software stops the threat before it reaches your hard drive and becomes a problem.

AVG has always delivered fast, effective security without the performance-sapping overheads of other security suites, and AVG Internet Security 8.0 continues that tradition.
You didn't get a computer to worry about security. AVG works quietly in the background, letting you focus on using you computer the way you want. More than 70 million users trust AVG for their computer security every day. Find out why.
