AVG is the Internet security provider of choice for one in four small businesses worldwide<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Melbourne, 12 August 2011<\/strong>. AVG (AU\/NZ) Pty Ltd<\/a>, the distributor of the award-winning AVG Internet and mobile security software in Australia, New Zealand and South Pacific, today announced that an independent study conducted with GFK shows that 25 percent of small businesses worldwide have selected AVG as the their trusted Internet security provider of choice.<\/p>\n

AVG Business Edition<\/a> products are designed exclusively to meet the needs of the most nimble of small and medium sized organisations. AVG products are high on protection, light on resources and easy to use at all times. AVG solutions were recently ranked No. 1 for ease-of-use by Tolly Independent Testing Labs<\/a>. The products also earned the highest five-star honour in respect to value for the money by SC Magazine<\/a>, and have achieved finalist standing for the prestigious Small Business Technology SMB Influencer awards.<\/p>\n

Lloyd Borrett, Security Evangelist<\/a> at AVG (AU\/NZ), said, \u201cAVG has considerably higher levels of satisfaction among small business users in comparison to other brands. This has been achieved by holding true to basic but important product philosophies that centre on providing everything that small entities need to protect their business, without bogging them down with everything they don\u2019t. This equates to incredible value, unrivalled efficiency and the utmost protection for businesses on the move. It\u2019s all about helping customers keep pace while providing them with complete peace of mind.\u201d<\/p>\n

AVG is playing a prominent role in helping customers stay up to speed on the latest security trends and issues via its information-packed Business Resource Centre<\/a>. In addition, because security needs are rarely the same for every organisation, AVG (AU\/NZ) also helps small businesses select the customised protection that is right for their business via an easy-to-use AVG Online Security Audit<\/a>. By taking two minutes to answer some questions about their business, people will receive a customised report containing hints and tips to better protect their business.<\/p>\n

In light of recent security breaches at large, high-profile organisations around the world, many industry experts are reporting that SMBs are in a particularly vulnerable position as cyber criminals take aim for financial gain at a sector that is traditionally less up-to-date on their security protection. In addition, recent court rulings in the US show a critical shift in liability may be emerging for small businesses in respect to the financial industry\u2019s willingness to absorb the skyrocketing costs of identity theft and fraud via the World Wide Web. Small businesses can better protect themselves via the use of comprehensive Internet security and identity protection tools, such as those offered by AVG.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think a lot of small business owners view security as just one more hassle that keeps them from focusing on what matters most \u2013 running their business,\u201d said Borrett. \u201cAVG\u2019s proposition is a fairly simple one but it is innately effective. Install the software and get back to work without fear. We won\u2019t slow you down and you don\u2019t have to give security a second thought \u2013 we\u2019ll handle the details. That\u2019s our mantra and we\u2019re pleased that it\u2019s earning praise from customers and industry luminaries alike.\u201d<\/p>\n

To help SMBs address the policy, technology and process issues involved with securing their smartphones, tablets, workstations and\/or servers, AVG has created a set of AVG Small Business Security Guides<\/a> which provide simple but effective steps small business owners can take to secure their business.
