AVG launches new range of products for 2013

AVG has released its 2013 range of products which not only protect users' systems from viruses and malware, but the new suites also contain some features that will help to optimise and enhance your PC's performance and speed up those once-sluggish systems.
AVG launches new range of products for 2013

The new product suite consists of Premium Security 2013, Internet Security 2013 and AntiVirus 2013. The release could not have been better timed. At the beginning of September, news reports revealed that online attacks from viruses, Trojans, malware and other menaces have soared to their highest level in four years.

Security is imperative

"It is more imperative than ever for Internet users to arm themselves with tools to stay safe online," says Bruce Goodwill, AVG's sales director for EMEA, LATAM and Australia. "AVG's new Premium Security and Internet Security suites for 2013 will safeguard Internet users - not only their systems, but, thanks to AVG's new identity protection technology and new enhanced firewall, their privacy and identities as well - while they shop, bank and conduct other online activities and transactions. It will also help to keep your inbox scam and spam free."

AVG has always been best known for its antivirus products. "The 2013 offering is as easy to use as ever before, but it contains several improvements, including the AVG Turbo Scan, Game Mode and Smart Scanner," says Goodwill. "The policy at AVG is that advanced protection does not have to compromise your PC's performance. An antivirus product should never slow your system down to a crawl, so we have developed these essential tools that will keep it running smoothly while working unobtrusively and pre-emptively to stop viruses, spyware, hackers and spam before they even arrive on your PC."

No impact on productivity

Goodwill says that it is for that reason that AVG's Internet Security 2013 and Premium Security 2013 boast the same PC performance boosting tools that will ensure a smooth and fast running system while still also offering real-time protection.

"Software designed to protect you should not impact your productivity or fun. With AVG's 2013 suite of security products, you will be able to enjoy faster loading, smoother-running videos and gaming, stable or even improved levels of PC performance as well as protection, all in one," Goodwill concludes.
