THE VIRUS THREAT In an age when technology is so ubiquitous that it is almost taken for granted, antivirus software plays an increasingly important role in protecting computer systems. Despite their innocent sounding names (Loveletter, Klez, Prettypark, etc.), computer viruses, trojan horses, worms, and other forms of malicious programs wreak havoc and cause tremendous losses Time lost and costs incurred to repair damage, restore systems, and recover data Loss of employee confidence Loss of valuable information and communications Loss of productivity Missed critical deadlines Damage to customer confidence and loyalty Bad publicity and damage to your reputation Loss of revenue or market share Regulatory penalties With these malicious programs becoming more sophisticated and easier to create, the risk to people and businesses around the world is amplified. Estimates of the damage caused each year by malicious computer programs run as high as $55 billion. To protect themselves, tens of millions of users rely on Grisoft and its award-winning line of AVG Anti-Virus software.

THE GRISOFT DIFFERENCE For more than a decade (the company was founded in the Czech Republic in 1991), Grisoft has set itself apart from other antivirus providers through solutions that combine maximum protection with maximum performance. Many antivirus products on the market today require users to navigate a complicated interface and consume large amounts of computer memory and other resources. This can degrade system performance and cause users to self-limit their use of virus protection. So, instead of being safer from attacks, they are actually more vulnerable. Grisoft offers protection for a 2-year period unlike other antivirus companies. Through an easy, intuitive interface, and by placing minimal demands on system resources, Grisoft solutions maximize protection – focusing on those areas most vulnerable to attack and stopping viruses before they can be saved to a PC. Grisoft solutions have been awarded both the ICSA Labs Antivirus Product Certification and the Virus Bulletin 100% logo, which is awarded to antivirus products that detect all “in the wild” viruses during comparative tests.

PROTECTING YOU ON MULTIPLE LEVELS Grisoft solutions are unique in their ability to protect users on multiple levels. Malicious programs can attack in many ways – through e-mail attachments, via a backdoor into the network, on removable media – and Grisoft solutions are ready for all of them. The AVG Resident Shield (On-Access Scanner) protects computers whenever their operating system is running – working in the background to provide transparent antivirus checking as files are opened, executed, or copied/saved. If a virus is detected, the Resident Shield denies the operation and ensures that the virus is contained. Grisoft AVG Anti-Virus solutions work on all major operating systems and platforms, including 64-bit Windows. The Grisoft solutions also have specific plugins for a wide range of individual e-mail clients (including MS Outlook, Eudora, The Bat!) as well as any other e-mail clients using the SMTP and POP3 protocols. The AVG Email Scanner automatically checks all e-mails (including attachments), isolating any detected viruses and certifying that outgoing e-mails are virus-free. In addition, all AVG Anti-Virus solutions are completely customizable. Users can manually start tests at any time, create their own test definitions, set priority levels, and determine how their AVG solution should react if a virus is found.

THE AVG ANTI-VIRUS SCANNING ENGINE The sophisticated AVG Anti-Virus scanning engine is at the heart of all AVG Anti-Virus solutions. Using an extensive preprocessing procedure, the scanning engine scans data for patterns of virus code, which it disarms by rendering the code in its basic form. Suspected code undergoes additional analysis controlled by the AVG Anti-Virus database – one of the largest proprietary antivirus databases in the world. The code is analyzed for similarities with known viruses. (This form of generic detection is particularly suitable for macro and script viruses.) Tests are automatically run every day by default – or, the application can be configured to create a customized scanning schedule. Users can also check specific areas at any time.

HEURISTIC ANALYSIS Next, two levels of heuristic analysis are performed: Static analysis locates programming code that is typical for certain types of virus propagation, while dynamic analysis uses a code emulator to evaluate the behavior of a program or file. The heuristic analysis is able to identify entirely new viruses or worms – and keeps AVG Anti-Virus at the forefront of antivirus protection. When viruses are detected, they are immediately moved to the AVG Virus Vault, a secure repository for infected files. Finally, Grisoft AVG solutions perform an integrity check. Certain data associated with each scanned file is stored in an internal integrity database and used to heal infected files, potentially restoring information that may have been lost during infection.

TIMELY VIRUS UPDATES With new viruses appearing all the time, the ability to rapidly distribute updates to users around the world is critical – and it’s a capability where Grisoft excels. With AVG Anti-Virus, updates are provided regularly as well as when new threats arise. Using a network of tens of thousands of high-speed servers around the world, Grisoft vigilantly assures access to virus updates even during periods of extremely high demand (e.g. when a major new virus attacks occurs). By supporting several methods for updating systems, including a fully automated update process, AVG Anti- Virus makes it easy to keep virus definitions current. The application can check for new updates and download new files automatically; users can also check for new updates manually.

AVG ANTI-VIRUS SOLUTION FOR EVERY NEED AVG Anti-Virus software – available online and through a network of thousands of resellers around the world – includes solutions for individual PCs, homes and small businesses, and large and small company networks (even those without network file servers). Grisoft also offers network versions for file servers, e-mail servers, Linux, and Linux e-mail servers. And AVG supports screen reader programs for the visually impaired.

THE LICENSING MODEL The licensing model for Grisoft solutions sets it apart from its competitors. AVG Anti-Virus software is sold with a 2-year license (vs. the 1-year license offered by other antivirus companies), eliminating the need to renew often. In addition, all registered AVG users are eligible for discounted license renewal.

TECHNICAL SUPPORT Because its focus is on antivirus protection, Grisoft takes seriously its responsibility to insure maximum security to customers and end users. Technical support via email is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Grisoft AVG Authorized Resellers can also provide technical assistance.
