AVG launches its 2014 product line

AVG launched its 2014 product portfolio. Spanning all the most popular operating systems and devices, the line-up is designed to help consumers and business owners secure, simplify and keep control of their digital lives.

As well as adding new features and functionality to its core security products, AVG also reveals its new AVG PrivacyFix application, which allows customers to manage their online privacy settings across a broad range of social media services as well as every day websites.

AVG Premium Security 2014 has also been updated to allow customers to secure their PCs and Android smartphones and tablets with a single purchase, emphasizing AVG’s ability to offer complete protection and valuable performance enhancements across multiple devices and platforms.

A recent AVG survey of nearly 5,000 people across eight countries revealed that 59 percent of people use at least three Internet-connected devices at home, and that we also use an average of three different operating systems in our daily lives. With so many devices to manage and interfaces to understand, it’s perhaps little surprise people are routinely struggling to sync their media and data efficiently, or to keep their gadgets working at optimum level – nearly a quarter (24 percent) of the people we asked encounter device malfunctions on a weekly basis.

“Our research shows that today’s ultra-connected world isn’t always as seamless, efficient or reliable as we might hope as we navigate via multiple devices and platforms,” said Yuval Ben-Itzhak, CTO, AVG Technologies. “It’s our mission at AVG to simplify technology to help people stay safe online, keep personal data private, and get the maximum enjoyment and performance from their devices. We’ve built on the strong foundations of our 2013 products by adding extra privacy, protection and performance features, streamlining user interfaces and delivering a true multi-device, multi-platform solution to our increasingly mobile and connected customers.”
