AVG Internet Security makes sure that you are safe when surfing the web, which is when your computer is at its most vulnerable to viruses, spyware and malicious codes. Surfing the Internet can endanger the health of your computer system, and banking and shopping online can result in your identity being stolen.

AVG Internet Security provides protection against this, with a number of new and existing features in its AVG Internet Security 8.5 version. For example, AVG Internet Security 8. 5 has a new identity protection module to make sure that your details are kept safe whilst shopping and banking online. Protection against malware and spyware makes sure that no-one can see your private information whilst on the Internet.

AVG Internet Security also has a number of safety features, including: Safe search and Safe surf. Safe search scans Google, Yahoo! and MSN search results. The results are then safety rated to make sure you know exactly what you are entering when you click on a search result. Safe surf scans every website and link before it is opened to ensure you aren’t clicking onto a dangerous site. These are two of AVG’s many safety scans to make sure all areas of the Internet are made safe.

Other examples are AVG Internet Security’s Safe Download Scan, Safe Link Scan, and Safety Ratings. Safe Download Scan scans all applications, documents and media you wish to download to make sure you are not inadvertently also downloading viruses or spyware. Safe Link Scan checks every link which you come across, either on the Internet or sent in an e-mail or an Instant Message, so that you know it is safe to open before clicking on it. AVG Internet Security’s Safety Ratings mean that you can clearly see how safe a site is, by hovering over the link and reading the safety icons which pop up.

AVG Internet Security, as well as scans, also provides protection against phishing and scam e-mails. A phishing and e-mail scan blocker keeps your Inbox safe from dangerous e-mails and free from the clutter of spam. AVG Internet Security also offers rootkit protection, so that no rootkit can get into your system and wreak havoc on your computer.

AVG Internet Security is available to download for a 1 year license, for up to £39.14 inc. VAT.
