Auckland, 18 April 2007 – Avalanche Technology Group, Australasian distributor of AVG Internet security software, today announced an update to the AVG Internet Security solution enabling users to fully enjoy all the features and benefits of AVG protection for the Windows Vista environment. This update includes a completely redesigned AVG Firewall component, which is one of the first to take advantage of the entire network filtering benefits offered by Microsoft’s new Windows Filtering Platform (WFP).

AVG Internet Security 7.5 offers Vista users the most comprehensive protective tools to safeguard computers and sensitive data. The simple and unified user interface of AVG Internet Security combines antivirus, anti-spyware, firewall and anti-spam defences.

This complete security solution includes an easy, integrated interface, free customer support and an all-in-one security application that doesn’t slow down computer performance with excessive or duplicate data scanning. With comprehensive remote administration tools, AVG Internet Security also offers great value for workstation protection in small and medium-sized businesses.

“Our developers had been working with Microsoft prior to the Vista launch to ensure product compatibility throughout the new security infrastructure, and to design the best user experience possible,” explains Larry Bridwell, Global Security Strategist at AVG. “We are excited to offer another AVG security product to protect Windows Vista PCs against a broad portfolio of Internet threats, including targeted and untargeted hacker attacks.”
