AVG Independently Ranked On Top For Protection
AV-Test Product Review and Certification Report - Q2/2010.
Melbourne, 18 August 2010 - From time to time you might read some heated debate online concerning comparisons between antivirus applications. Everyone has their own favourite, and will defend their choice in the strongest language possible, even in the face of evidence against. That aside, in order to make an informed decision about the best way to protect yourself online, it's good practice to seek an unbiased review.
Enter AV-Test. This is an independent security test site dedicated to providing rigorous, performance-based reviews of antivirus and data suites, committed on a quarterly basis. The latest report is now available, and it pits AVG Internet Security against 18 other antivirus programs, running on Windows 7.
What will come as no surprise to you is that AVG Internet Security comes out right on top with a protection score of 5.5 out of 6, alongside well-known competitor Symantec, and above our esteemed "rival" Avast. Six of the products submitted for testing by other security vendors failed to be awarded an AV-Test certificate.
Now, to be clear, our intention for posting this information is not to crow about how great we are, but to provide some outside analysis. We'd like you to feel secure in selecting AVG as your antivirus of choice. We want you to know that we've got your back covered 24/7, and that we're constantly upgrading and improving our software to make sure you have the best protection possible - and now we have independent proof.
We recommend that you share this information with anyone who is on the fence about choosing an antivirus application, and let them know that we're available at any time to answer questions or concerns about this increasingly dangerous online world we live in.
