AVG is an umbrella term for a range of antivirus and internet security software
for the Microsoft Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD computing platforms, developed by
AVG Technologies. The brand name for AVG Technologies' Security Software is AVG,
which comes from their first product, Anti-Virus Guard. AVG Technologies is a
privately held Czech company formed in 1991 by Jan Gritzbach and Tomas Hofer. In
early September 2005, a large stake in the company was bought by Intel
Corporation. On April 19, 2006, ewido Networks became a part of the AVG
Technologies group.
On November 6, 2006, Microsoft announced that AVG Security products would be
available directly from the Windows Security Center in Windows Vista. Since June
7, 2006, the AVG software has also been used as an optional component of GFI
Mail Security, produced by GFI Software. On December 5, 2007, AVG Technologies
announced the acquisition of Exploit Prevention Labs, developer of the
LinkScanner safe surfing technology. On February 8, 2008, Grisoft announced that
they would change the company name from Grisoft to AVG Technologies. This change
was made to increase the effectiveness of their marketing activities.
On April 19, 2006, it was announced that AVG Technologies had acquired the
German Anti-Malware company ewido Networks. ewido Anti-Spyware was later renamed
to AVG Anti-Spyware Professional Edition. A freeware version, AVG Anti-Spyware
Free Edition, is available for private non-commercial use only and with lower
speed updates. As of AVG 8.0, AVG Anti-Spyware is integrated into AVG Anti-Virus
and is no longer available as a standalone product.
AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition
According to AVG Technologies, over 80 million users have AVG Anti-Virus
protection, including users of the Free Edition. On April 24, 2008, AVG released
AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 8.0. Along with a more colorful interface, the new
program added some new features - a combined Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware
protection engine, LinkScanner Search-Shield safe search protection, plus the
AVG Security Toolbar - which were previously only available in AVG commercial
versions.
There are some limitations with AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 8.0 compared to the
commercial versions of AVG products. These limitations include:
Less protection - AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 8.0 provides only base level
protection against viruses, spyware and safe searching. It does not provide safe
surfing (drive-by download protection) nor protection from crackers, keyloggers,
spam, phishing attacks and malicious file downloads that can come through
instant messaging and attachments from seemingly friendly sources. This
protection is only available in the commercial versions of AVG products.
Slower updates - AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 8.0 receives updates via a lower
priority service. Priority updating via high-speed servers is only available for
the commercial versions of AVG products.
No telephone or e-mail technical support - There is no telephone or e-mail
technical support provided by AVG for users of AVG Free Edition products
anywhere in the world. AVG Free Edition users have access to support via the
self-help AVG Free Forum.
No customization - Scheduling options in AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 8.0 are
very limited (only one scheduled update per day, one scheduled scan per day
etc.). The AVG Resident Shield configuration is limited with no exclusion
settings. AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition does not offer advanced testing options,
password-protected archives reporting, adjustment of scan process priority and
many other features.
No server support - AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 8.0 cannot be installed on
server operating systems (such as Windows Server 2003), nor can it be used for
the scanning of network drives.
AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 8.0 is only licenced for home and non commercial use
on a single computer.
AVG Free Edition was once responsible for popup ads advertising the non-free
versions of AVG Anti-Virus 8.0 and AVG Internet Security 8.0, which claim to
provide more comprehensive levels of protection. Current free versions display
only in-program banner ads for the full edition, not popups.
