Only AVG 8.5 Internet Security stops threats before they become a problem

As the nature of threats evolve, so must the nature of protection. AVG ensures your safety while you search or surf the net, download music, documents and pictures, send emails or instant message by scanning documents, files, Web pages and Web links before you open them. Unlike other security products, our unique software stops the threat before it reaches your hard drive and becomes a problem.

A look at AVG 8.5

Safe Search. AVG scans Google, Yahoo! & MSN search results in real-time as you search and places safety ratings next to each link.
Safe Surf. AVG scans each and every Web site and Web link within a Web site before you open them to ensure they are safe.
Safe Link Scan. AVG scans every Web link you come across, whether in e-mails, documents or instant messages, no matter the source, before you open them to ensure you are protected in advance 100% of the time.
Safe Favorites & Bookmark Scan. AVG scans all your favorite and bookmarked sites before you open them to ensure they are safe.
Safe URL Scan. If you type your favorite site address (URL) into your browser, AVG will scan the contents of the site before you open it to ensure it is safe.
Safe Download Scan: AVG will scan all new applications you want to install as well as all Excel, Word, PowerPoint and other documents and music, videos and pictures to ensure they are safe before you download them.
Safety Ratings. Site specific safety details are displayed by simply hovering over the safety icons.

AVG has always delivered fast, effective security without the performance-sapping overheads of other security suites, and AVG Internet Security 8.5 continues that tradition.
