For the average consumer, what your anti-virus and anti-malware programs do to protect your computer have followed a set it and forget it mentality.īalancing along the fine line of being both approachable yet empowering is a key goal of not just AVG but also just about any utility software developer: Modern UI has the visual appeal, but does it evoke control and the sense of security over all the software's power features? Not just a response to competitors, the Modern UI movement represents an overall push toward creating a more streamlined security experience. Version 2013 was AVG's first push toward adopting and remixing the Modern UI movement.
Whereas the majority of threats were once external viruses trying to force their way into your machines, nowadays malware focus more on tricking users to inadvertently open doors for hijacking.
Though many threats still exist, security programs as they stand now start to encompass areas of privacy utilities. AVG's Anti-Virus and Internet Security line follows on the heel of last year's highly-ranked security suite by not merely incorporating some minor but key tweaks to both its front-end and back-end, but a stronger push toward personal data management and privacy utilities that help prevent uninvited access to your files.
