AVG Free Edition

admin — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 20:46:01 +0000

http://www.avgtechnology.blogspot.com
AVG Free Edition has previously been responsible for popup ads advertising the non-free versions of AVG Anti-Virus 8.0 and AVG Internet Security 8.0, which claim to provide more comprehensive levels of protection. AVG Anti-Virus 8.5 Free Edition users are now also subject to a daily pop-up advertising campaign for a “recommended upgrade” to AVG Internet Security. A “manager” on the AVG free version forum states that this advertisement appears once per day for one month each year.

All versions of the AVG products, excluding AVG Anti-Rootkit Free Edition (now discontinued), are compatible with the 64-bit edition of Windows.

History
The corporate history of Grisoft and AVG Technologies can be found in the AVG Technologies article. The brand name AVG comes from Grisoft’s first product, “Anti-Virus Guard”, launched in 1992 in the Czech Republic. In 1997, the first AVG licenses were sold in Germany and UK. AVG was introduced to the U.S. in 1998.

The AVG Free Edition helped raise awareness of the AVG product line.
In 2006, the AVG security package grew to include anti-spyware, as AVG Technologies acquired ewido Networks, an anti-spyware group. That same year, Microsoft announced that AVG components would be available directly within the Windows Vista operating system.

Remote Corporate Espionage and the Cyber Proxy War

admin — Sat, 30 May 2009 15:25:59 +0000

Professor Howard Schmidt, ISF President and one time security adviser to the White House discusses how and why corporate espionage is taking place.

Phishing emails not to get credit cards or even identity theft information but after logon information for intellectual property theft.

Professor Schmidt sites a case study involving a discussion of a former director of counter intelligence of a large European country, where the following two part question was posed.

Do you spy on other governments?
No – we absolutely do not, we are partners, we have treaties signed etc
Do you spy on other companies in other countries?
After a brief hesitation, the reply came back.
Let me explain it to you this way. If it cost me 20 million euros to buy an aeroplane from another government but if I can acquire that technology and build it for five million euros, isn’t that a good thing?

According to Professor Schmidt, many countries around the world have really great technology but have not put a lot of effort into securing their technology.

A hack into their systems could be sanctioned at the highest level of government, or an unsanctioned civil servant who thinks they can do their country a service by helping their country acquire technology cheaply or even a hobbiest looking to find out the truth about a project.

The issue however is not the motive of the hacker but that companies need to ensure that they have the right security in place in order to enable them to do business securely.

And hackers from Russia and China are considered to be among the chief culprits.

Europe and America suffer the most, with the U.S. Defense Department spending more than one hundred million dollars over the past six months to improve the nation’s cyber security.
