AVG Technologies Security Software Protects Against Latest Threats
A look at statistics by AVG Technologies has revealed that the course of web-borne attacks and threats has changed. Instead of a virus being written to last as long as possible, today’s infections are more interested in stealth and containing the ability to be fast-moving.
These new threats often originate with a trusted legitimate web site and often move on before being blocked by anti-virus software. There is also a new phenomenon where websites are created just for the purpose of spreading an infection. These sites look fine, but have a sinister side. They will run these websites for just a few days before shutting them down and moving on. An astounding number of these websites have been tracked by AVG researchers. In the past three months alone, these attack sites have grown from around 100,000-200,000 new ones a day to 200,000-300,000.
AVG through its LinkScanner web security software offers users of all AVG’s security software real-time protection. This is done using the very latest infection data from experts and users. Analyzing websites right at the point of a user visiting them allows AVG to offer industry leading real-time protection against these new constantly moving and evolving threats.
