AVG Technologies, developer of the world's most popular free anti-virus software, represented locally by Phoenix Software, has announced that two of its products - AVG Internet Security 9.0 and AVG Internet Security for Business 9.0 - won Global Product Excellence Awards sponsored by Info Security Products Guide.

AVG Internet Security 9.0 won in the category “Security Solution for Consumers”, while AVG Internet Security Business Edition 9.0 won for “Security Solution for Enterprise (Small) and SOHO”.

“We are honoured that the Info Security award selection committee chose to recognise both our consumer and business products,” says Tony Anscombe, Ambassador of Free Products, AVG Technologies. “These awards validate our efforts to battle against cyber-criminals and keep our customers safe online.”

AVG Internet Security 9.0

AVG Internet Security 9.0 is AVG Technologies' flagship software product for home users.

Multiple layers of protection means users don't have to worry about identity theft, spam, or viruses. And its integrated AVG LinkScanner technology provides real-time protection from accidentally visiting harmful sites.

With up to 50% faster scanning time, home users now can have faster, smarter security that won't slow their computer down.

AVG Internet Security Business Edition 9.0

AVG developed Internet Security Business Edition to protect workstations and servers so that businesses can focus on their operations and not worry about their security software.

AVG Internet Security Business Edition is a scalable security solution for small and medium-sized businesses that uses cutting-edge technologies like application white listing and “in-the-cloud” automated testing. Enhanced remote administration ensures easy deployment and delivers centralised management of security incidents.
