One of the most effective yet affordable anti-virus solutions for PC I’ve ever used – AVG, has recently announced the latest update to their software. AVG 9.0 gives you hassle-free protection from today’s most sophisticated threats online. If you’re already using a previous version of AVG ie 8.5, you’ll be happy to know that AVG 9.0 now boots and scans faster than AVG 8.5 and makes 50% of decisions automatically meaning you get hassled 50% less when working.

AVG 9.0 also includes the unique LinkScanner to prevent you from accidently visiting harmful sites.

Recently, Hotmail, Yahoo!, and Gmail were all attacked by phishing scams that stole 20,000 email addresses and passwords. These details were then posted online. This is an example of where AVG LinkScanner could have help prevented Data Snatchers from stealing your personal information, including your email address and passwords. If you’ve never tried AVG before, there’s no rush to buying it online as you can try its free version first (no restrictions) which can be downloaded via CNET here…
