AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 9.0 Wins Australian PC Authority Best Value Award
AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 9.0 gets 5 out of 6 stars.
Melbourne, 15 March 2010 - AVG (AU/NZ), the distributor for Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific of the world's most popular free anti-virus software, today announced that AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 9.0 received an overall rating of 5 stars and the Best Value designation from Australian PC Authority in their April 2010 issue group test of security software products. The product also retained its "A-List Alternative" ranking by the magazine.
As Australian PC Authority said, "When it comes with such a minimal footprint and such a low profile, the overall proposition is still very attractive - especially when you get the added bonus of LinkScanner thrown in for free."
Lloyd Borrett, Marketing Manager AVG (AU/NZ) said, "After weeks of waiting, to finally hear that AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 9.0 had been elected Best Value by Australian PC Authority was just incredible."
"With such strong competition these days, to win any group test is always immensely satisfying. Especially when our basic level free product is being compared with not only other free products, but also top-end paid products."
"As pioneers of free antivirus security software more than a decade ago, it's a joy to see how AVG has been adopted by more than 4.6 million users across Australia and New Zealand and how people have benefited from the availability of a reliable base level of protection against the cyber criminals."
"For me, that's where the real satisfaction comes from - working with a brand that's constantly trying to improve every detail to make your chosen security solution safer, faster and easier to use. AVG's software engineers and security researchers work hard to refine the protection provided while reducing the use of system resources. That's not an easy task when you also want to improve ease of use, plus deliver industry leading technologies like AVG LinkScanner's real-time protection against web threats, all at the same time."
"Online is the ultimate test bed and fortunately the sum of AVG's improvements has been confirmed by PC Authority and its elite test team as delivering the best value. If only they had also tested AVG's complete protection solution, the paid AVG Internet Security 9.0 suite, AVG might have had a clean sweep in the awards!"
AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 9.0 is available to download, free forever, from www.avgfree.com.au.
