The biggest news with AVG Anti-Virus 9.0 is that it includes Linkscanner, a technology that actively blocks malicious content from Web sites that may have been hijacked or otherwise compromised.
Also, antivirus, antispyware, and antirootkit preventions have been combined into one product. The new drive-by download protection combined with AVG's award winning effectiveness in blocking and removing antivirus and antispyware code is perfect for everyday security.

For threat testing, we directed our browser to a site known to host malicious content. AVG Anti-Virus 9.0 did flag the site, however, our request for additional information about the threat produced a generic AVG virus encyclopedia page.
AVG integrates with Outlook, Eudora, and The BAT! to scan incoming and outgoing e-mail; users of Outlook Express or other clients can configure the Personal E-mail scanner manually. Download now!
