Providing Peace of Mind to the Connected World

"Ease of use, value and trust equal peace of mind," said JR Smith, CEO

secure, community-driven digital ecosystem dedicated to helping consumers
protect themselves and the things they care about the most. Computers and
devices have become an extension of every individual at work and at play. In
today's world, we're not just securing machines. We're securing people's
digital life, or as we like to say: Providing Peace of Mind to the Connected
World."
In addition to AVG's multi-layered protection, utilizing signature-based
antivirus, heuristics and behavior-based threats detection, AVG 2012 comes

additional protection technologies.

minimize waiting time. Responding to our users' request for a fast and
smooth content download while online, AVG Accelerator enhances user
experience to provide peace of mind.
AVG Advisor constantly monitors the computer and proactively advises the
user with available remedies and optimization possibilities for various
computer problems they may have.

improve our products. Their feedback was analyzed and leveraged on the
development of new products that better serve their needs while connected
online," said Yuval Ben-Itzhak, CTO of AVG Technologies. "We enhanced AVG
Internet Security 2012 as a result of listening to our users who asked for
peace of mind, better security against threats and an optimized computing
performance."
