AVG 9.0 combines the use of signature-based protection against known threats, including whitelist-based technologies that will help to combat the large number of new threats that appear daily.
The information would also be shared with other modules in the solution, including firewall and identity protection. This will cause the firewall far less frequently will have to ask the user whether the incoming connections id going to be allowed.
Anti-phishing solution LinkScanner should have been faster and be more accurate to determine whether a website is a host to a phishing attack.
