AVG 7.1 Functionality and Benefits

    The primary benefit of AVG 7.1 is that it has been designed to make it
as
simple as possible for the customer to use by providing enhanced protection
from viruses and other forms of malicious code, while also improving the
speed
of scans and flexibility in defining the scanning criteria.  With AVG 7.1,
Grisoft continues to provide customers with a simple interface from which to
manage their protection, as well as making some routine features like
database
updates seamless and less time consuming to the end user.
