AVG Receives First Virus Bulletin Certification on Windows Vista
AVG Anti-Virus 7.5 passes the most recent virus tests for the latest VB 100 Certification
Melbourne, 14 February 2007 – Avalanche Technology Group, Australasian distributor of GRISOFT’s AVG security software, today announced that AVG Anti-Virus has received Virus Bulletin’s VB100 award for tests completed on Microsoft Windows Vista. This award states that AVG had found and removed all presented viruses considered to be "in the wild" and is therefore ready to protect users of Microsoft’s new operating system. The quality of AVG Anti-Virus for 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows Vista is also approved by ICSA Labs, which recently certified AVG Anti-Virus on the Vista platform.
“The close cooperation with Microsoft in developing security tools for beta versions of Windows Vista and the preparation for the Vista launch was a great experience for us,” said Larry Bridwell, Global Security Strategist for AVG. “We can now confidently say that users of our security products are fully prepared to face a broad range of Internet threats even when upgrading to Windows Vista.”
Virus Bulletin is one of the known authorities in the security industry. VB editors regularly test security products against real risks on numerous operating systems. AVG not only passed the current testing on Windows Vista but it continues to keep 100% success rate since AVG products were tested in 2004.
AVG protects Vista users against a broad range of Internet threats including viruses, trojans, spyware, spam, dialers and worms. The comprehensive AVG 7.5 product line offers its users reliable automatic updates with a simple to use, unified user interface.
Avalanche provides its commercial AVG clients with free customer support via telephone and email during Australian business hours, backed up by full 24 / 7 / 365 support from GRISOFT.
All products in the AVG range are available on the Avalanche website www.avalanche.com.au and via its extensive network of resellers located throughout Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific.
