AVG Security Software Named a Leading Alternative Brand By VARBusiness Magazine Readers
GRISOFT Ranked #1 alternative vendor in the Security Software category
Millburn, N.J, February 20, 2007 - GRISOFT, the developer of AVG Internet security software, has been identified by North American information-technology (IT) solution providers who read VARBusiness magazine as being the top alternative to other security market leaders.
Lawrence M. Walsh, editor of VARBusiness magazine, which covers the business of technology integration, explains that there are numerous reasons why such brands are preferred to category leaders. “Products such as AVG often provide value-added resellers with superior performance, innovative technology and preferential price opportunites,” says Walsh.
GRISOFT’s AVG product line for home, small and medium business users protects against growing Internet-based threats including worms, viruses, Trojans, adware, spyware, spam and keyloggers. AVG Internet Security 7.5 is a comprehensive suite of computer security tools including antivirus and anti-spyware protection, an easy to use personal firewall, a spam filter and anti-phishing tools. Other AVG bundles include AVG Anti-Malware, which combines the latest anti-spyware and antivirus technologies within a single, easy-to-use interface. Network and server editions are also available with remote administration as well as compatibility with the latest operating systems including Windows Vista. All AVG security products include reliable automatic updates and use a low level of computer resources. Free 24/7 technical support is available for all commercial versions.
Larry Bridwell, Global Security Strategist of GRISOFT says: “It is great news for GRISOFT that readers of VARBusiness rank our software as the best choice for resellers and distributors but it is not a surprise by any means. We work closely with our partners and distributors providing them with comprehensive marketing and sales support. We focus similar attention to all AVG commercial version users in the form of worldwide, professional and 24/7 technical support.”
GRISOFT is recognized in the special Feb. 19 “Alternatives” issue of VARBusiness magazine and online at www.varbusiness.com.
