New AVG 9
The feature-packed version of AVG security program has been popular to date with AVG Technologies claims faster scan times, start times, and other improvements under the hood. While version 8 introduces a range of products consolidated, so that these functions work together better to hold the attention of the AVG9 Internet Security and AVG Anti-Virus 9th
AVG makes some bold claims for these updates. The company is touting the time to scan the “up to 50 percent” faster, based on labeling files safely change its file structure, and startup time, the “10 to 15 percent” faster. The memory consumption is also expected “10 to 15 percent” better than well. High firewall that only in the Internet Security version uses a new database to automatically identify when safe access some programs on the Internet without user input. This database of trust, called TrustedDB AVG should be less intrusive to the application user input 50 per cent less than the previous version, AVG said. In addition, the installation of 22 screens was reduced to 11.
There are some brand new features in version 9, but interesting is the identity theft unit. Included in AVG Anti-Virus and AVG Free, but only for users in the United States, is ITRU a business partnership with Identity Guard offers solutions for identity theft. “Only accessible from the toolbar of the browser, which works only in Firefox or Internet Explorer provides the service of” identity theft recovery unit with the support of fraud experts “to use, transfer, and a credit report containing an analysis, enrollment in the credit file monitoring, provide support and submission of report.
In practice the test last week, I found AVG relatively easy to navigate, although the interface could be easier. If you’re one of the elements in the main window, you must double-click to access a feature for more information on him. A simple click or even a mouse-over pop-up would experience more quickly. Before I ran my first scan, AVG detected symbols related to Pidgin as a threat.
Double setting Avira and McAfee found to have false positives detected, and when I finally ran the fast-scan, it took more than 20 minutes. But this is to be achieved compare favorably with competitors, including some first quick scan in about 60 seconds. I was also surprised that Mozilla Thunderbird has been approved will not automatically by the firewall, confidence, despite the new database firewall. During installation, the toolbar of the browser to install it for you, it does not seem possible to operate during the installation and install the latest from the AVG interface, control external.
AVG Internet Security 9 is available for $ 49.99 and AVG Anti-Virus is $ 34.99. Both come with a one-year license and a 30-day trial, although AVG Anti-Virus lacks the firewall, identity protection, ant spam, and system tools that come in AVG Internet Security. Fans of the free version of AVG 9 must wait a little longer, as always, AVG Free after the full range of the public were put at the disposal of delays.
