• AVG PrivacyFix puts control of your personal online privacy back in your hands. Available on your PC, mobile and tablet, it allows you to check, manage and personalize your privacy settings across popular sites such as Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, as well as overall tracking across websites in general, all from one easy-to-use central control panel.

• AVG AntiVirus PRO v3.3 for Android is the latest version of AVG’s market-leading application for Android smartphones and tablets. It helps to protect your devices by combatting viruses and malware so you can download media and apps, and browse the web with confidence. The advanced anti-theft features also help you to find your device if it’s lost or stolen.

The new product in this lineup is the new AVG PrivacyFix application which makes it easy for customers to manage their online privacy settings across a broad range of social media services as well as every day websites. It should also be noted that AVG Premium Security 2014 has also been updated to allow customers to secure their PCs and Android smartphones and tablets with a single purchase, emphasizing AVG’s ability to offer complete protection and valuable performance enhancements across multiple devices and platforms.

All these products are now available for download from www.avg.com. If you need to secure your PC, look no further than AVG.

Oh, I should also direct you to a research paper done by AVG which questioned almost 5,000 consumers across eight global markets, showed that while consumers are being offered more ways and opportunities to connect online than ever before, frustrations with the management of multiple devices and the increased invasion of privacy is threatening to overshadow the achievement. It’s a very interesting read.
