AVG Free for Linux Virus Protection

Although Linux systems are among the most resistant to virus attacks, Grisoft has introduced yesterday a new free ( for home use ) version of its software AVG Anti-Virus specifically for the Linux desktop.

Peter Lipa, President of Grisoft said:

With its growing popularity, it is only a matter of time before the Linux operating system becomes more widely targeted by virus and malware writers

Some AVG Free for Linux benefits include:

- Rapid virus database updates for the lifetime of the product
- Small update files that do not drain system resources
- Automatic update functionality
- AVG On-Demand Scanner, which allows users to perform scheduled and
manual tests
- AVG's advanced virus detection methods (heuristic analysis, generic
detection, scanning) designed to provide maximum virus protection
