AVG for Business Users

AVG comes in both consumer (home) and business versions. It provides protection against  traditional threats such as viruses, spyware and trojans as well as newer threats including web exploits, drive-by downloads, phishing and rootkit attacks. AVG guards the major connection points into your computer: web browsing, instant messaging, email, and local area network.

Internet Security: A Business Imperative

Most individuals and organizations today are well aware of the dangers of computer viruses and their potential disruption to the business. A single infected e-mail that spreads a virus through an organization (and on to customers and suppliers) can have a major impact on productivity, revenue, and ultimately, business survival.

But not everyone is aware that cybercrime has become an organized online business in and of itself. Many hackers and other cybercriminals today have moved beyond viruses to create new types of malicious software programs that are delivered using the very environment that make business computing so rich and productive today – the world wide web. Increasingly sophisticated malware spies on PC users, intercepts data, and accesses networks to steal information that’s critical to your business. Delivery mechanisms are hidden in seemingly-innocent web pages, and users need not even click on a page to get infected.

With this new generation of threats spreading across the web, it is vital that businesses adopt an approach to network security that acknowledges it’s not just about viruses any more. Robust computer security needs multiple layers to take care of multiple threats. But it is also critical to remember that any security software is only a tool; if it’s difficult to use or understand, it will not provide full protection and will leave the business vulnerable to attack.

Effective computer security must be easy to deploy, use, update, and manage. It must provide unobtrusive security for end users, whether or not they are connected to the network. And, most importantly, it must not get in the way of doing business.
