AVG has released a new version of their antivirus software. AVG is considered one of the best antivirus programs on the marked, and offers good protection while not occupying a lot of the system resources.

One of the most exiting news are the Identity Theft Protection.

Identity Theft Protection prevents new and unknown threats from stealing your personal information like bank and credit card details.

“Traditional” viruses and spyware keep on growing – every day we see tens of thousands of new examples in our labs. And online criminals are getting smarter– they keep inventing types of threat that have never been seen before, usually aimed at stealing your bank account, credit card details or other personal information, so we’ve developed an extra layer of identity theft protection that sits on top of traditional antivirus and antispyware software. It looks for changes in your PC’s behavior that are caused by new threats – and then stops them in their tracks.

AVG is available in both a free version and pay version where you got a more complete security package for your computer. It should also be mentioned that AVG is compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.
