AVG Technologies heeft versie 2015 van zijn beschermingsprogramma's uitgebracht. De line-up bestaat onveranderd uit het gratis Anti-Virus Free, en het betaalde Anti-Virus en Internet Security. Die laatste twee kosten 35 en 45 euro per jaar per pc, maar als er een licentie voor verschillende jaren en/of pc's wordt afgenomen, valt de prijs per stuk lager uit. De drie programma's onderling vergelijken kan op deze pagina. In versie 2015 is onder meer de gebruikersinterface opgefrist en heeft AVG een manier gevonden om sneller bescherming te bieden tegen nieuwe zogenaamde zero-day-bedreigingen.
New Interface
With this release, we've put a greater emphasis on design to make protecting yourself as easy as possible. We've perfected our interface to give you full-featured anti-virus protection in a beautifully simple design. Simple circles give you an overview of your level of protection, and their color alerts you to potential problems. A partial circle means that certain protection features are not activated or installed, while a full one means that you are fully covered.
Outbreak Detection
Normally, when we find a new threat, we build malware definition packages that include several detection and removal methods, test them internally and finally distribute them to our users. This represented a short window during which you could have potentially been infected with an emerging 0-day threat before the detection methods are up to date on your computer. Outbreak Detection fills that gap. Now, when we discover a 0-day threat, we immediately upload our earliest detection methods into the back end of our cloud-based threat database. Whenever a user comes across that threat and is in a position to activate it, our behavioral detection kicks in and does a reputation check. If the application is linked to this new threat-it will be blocked and quarantined. This new method helps keep you safe the moment we know a threat is out there, and helps to stop its spread while we develop the regular definitions packages which contain a broader and more thorough protection.
