What does it all mean?
Today’s threats go far beyond just viruses. Here’s just a sampler of the latest types of threats that can impact your online security today.
| Threat Descriptions | How AVG Internet Security Protects Your PC |
|---|---|
| Viruses & spyware | As always, AVG protects you from everyday threats like viruses and spyware. Our research team works around-the-clock to uncover and provide protection from new viruses before they can infect your computer. Our automated protection is efficient and scans in the background. Low use of system resources means you can keep using your computer normally, confident that you are fully protected. |
| Hacker attacks | Hackers probe computers from the outside to find an open doorway. These attacks are aimed directly at your PC. Once inside, they can use your machine for spamming or steal your private data. AVG’s advanced firewall protects you from these attacks. All intrusion attempts are blocked immediately and no unauthorized access to your PC is allowed. |
| Malicious web sites | Simply visiting an infected Web site can place your PC and personal information at risk. Our unique LinkScanner® technology blocks sneaky drive-by downloads and ensures the safety of every click. |
| Infected downloads | Transferring and swapping files over the Internet is an increasingly common method of infection. AVG Web Shield prevents you from downloading infected files or exchanging infected files over instant messaging. |
| Emails scams & phishing | Identifying online scams and deceptive emails on your own is becoming more difficult as hackers improve the quality and apparent legitimacy of their threats. AVG uses multiple methods to analyze incoming email message to confirm their validity and remove scams and other unwanted emails. |
