Surf, and search with confidence, with LinkScanner checking web pages at the only time that matters - right before you click that link.
LinkScanner takes over where anti-virus can't go - into the depths of web pages you haven't even visited yet. Whenever you're on the web, the moment you go to click on a link, LinkScanner analyzes the page behind that link to tell you whether there's something nasty hiding there. For added peace of mind, you also get safety ratings for your Google, Yahoo! and Bing/MSN search results. Identity Protection makes sure your passwords, credit card information, bank account details, and other valuable data are safe from even the newest and most sophisticated threats. It's constantly on guard,watching to make sure no program on your PC is doing something it shouldn't. If it finds something misbehaving, it simply shuts it down. So your data is safe. Think about it. Just one software package to protect you from every trickster, scam artist, cybercriminal, hacker, and spammer lurking out there - including brand-new threats that haven't been identified by other security software companies. |
AVG Internet Security 9.0 gives you complete protection for everything you do on your computer - online or off.

I have used in the past over many years Norton, BullGuard, McAfee etc but AVG Internet Security, especially v9,is in a different league. It is easy to load, virtually automatic for setup, easy to use and does what it says on the tin. I use on three domestic computers including a laptop. Usefully, apart from on start-up, and scan, it does not appear to take any processing power and incoming emails are only delayed marginally whilst it checks them for viruses.
Upgrades are free and the on line support is good.
The "anti popup" software to block adware is much better than on previous versions although I also use Pareto Logic Anti Spyware which also removes adware and sits seamlessly with AVG 9.
Amazon are also selling at the moment for half the price you would pay on the AVG website!
PS: I use Windows XP Pro.

I am using AVG INTERNET SECURITY 9.0 for over a month now. But I never bought it. What I did buy was an older AVG security suite (v7.5), 2 years ago. Nevertheless, whenever a later version becomes available, the suite updates itself to the latest version -- FREE! It happened at least three times over these past years, with versions 8.0, 8.5 and recently 9.
You have to respect a company that does this! With AVG a 2 year license means you shall have the latest security suite for 2 years (and not just new database definitions). Can you imagine buying McAfee or Norton 2009 in October and in March been offered their later release, free?
As a security suite, AVG is light and reliable. It does not tax my system resources either idle or actively scanning, and one can trade speed for resources with a scalable slider. The interface is user friendly and intuitive. The default settings will protect the initiate user from confusing alerts and warnings. On the other hand, the experienced user can dive in and configure the suite to suit him best.
The only thing I did not like with v9.0 are the icons in the main interface, which I found bland and boring. But appearances are a very minor thing when it comes to security suites.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Hi I bought this product from Amazon at an unbeatable price.. I have found AVG by far the best internet security suite that I have used. I have tried a few but they slow down my pc.. As I say AVG works best for me !! I would also like to add that Amazon are second to none on customer service and delivery.
