When it comes to advanced threat protection, businesses need to leverage the enterprise technology that offers the latest cybersecurity solutions to defend against sophisticated cyberthreats targeting your sensitive data.
That’s where AVG’s antivirus software options come in, offering world-class protection against continuously evolving malware and hackers.
“The threats that now target people and families’ personal and financial data on PCs are constantly growing, both in sophistication and speed,” said Ondrej Vlcek, a cybersecurity expert and CTO of Avast, the company behind AVG. “With this in mind, we want to ensure that our AVG products provide real-time security, a scan for both malware and performance issues, and even catch malicious downloads before they reach a user’s PC.”
AVG Scores As a “Top-Rated Product”
The flagship AVG Antivirus product was recently recognized as a “Top Rated Product” by the independent test lab, AV-Comparatives, known for rigorous testing of security software.
The AVG antivirus software came away with top awards in all six tests it underwent. Reviewers specifically pointed to AVG’s clear interface.
“One of the key features that caught our attention was AVG’s ease of use and operability,” said Andreas Clementi, the founder and CEO of AV-Comparatives. “Security threats on PCs could impact anyone, and so it is important that the products in place to protect people against such threats be easy to set up and use.”

Key features, which update automatically, include:
- Antivirus and Ransomware Protection: Detects and removes malware and viruses from PCs and laptops
- Identity Protection: Protects your identity from spyware and adware that track personal information

- Email Protection: Scans and checks emails for suspicious attachments and links, including anti-spam and anti-phishing features
The most recent ratings add to hundreds of top marks the company has garnered since it began in 1991, which Vlcek said “supports our mission to protect our users and their families and give them peace of mind whenever they connect online.”
MSSP + AVG = Cybersecurity
With more businesses recognizing the benefits of partnering with an IT managed services provider for reducing overhead costs and increasing employee productivity, the focus is turning to strengthening cybersecurity with a managed security services provider (MSSP).
By pairing with an MSSP, businesses can outsource the monitoring and management of their security systems and devices, ensuring they have the skilled security talent with the expertise to handle any situation.
