AVG Technologies

AVG is a family of anti-virus and Internet security software for the Microsoft Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and FreeBSD computing platforms, developed by AVG Technologies, a privately held Czech company formerly known as Grisoft. The brand name AVG comes from Grisoft's first product, "Anti-Virus Guard", launched in 1992 in Czechoslovakia. In 1997, the first AVG licenses were sold in Germany and UK. AVG was introduced in the U.S. in 1998. The AVG Free Edition helped raise awareness of the AVG product line. The AVG security package grew to include anti-spyware, as AVG Technologies acquired Networks, an anti-spyware group. Microsoft announced that AVG components would be available directly within the Windows Vista operating system. According to AVG Technologies, over 110 million users have AVG Anti-Virus protection, including users of the Free Edition. Download at www.avg.com. It's Free !
