Tettnang, Germany, December 16, 2010
– IT security expert Avira conducted a consumer security survey of its computer users worldwide in November which showed that more than 60 percent of respondents have tried multiple anti-virus products over the course of a year. In addition, 25 percent of the users admitted to turning off their anti-virus protection because they thought those programs were slowing down their computers.
The sample size of the consumer security survey was 9,091 with a margin of error between 0.28 and 1 percent. The questions were posed to Avira’s 100+ million customers worldwide, giving the survey an international flavor. Here are the top findings from Avira’s November security survey:
* 62.84% – Have tried multiple security products in a one-year span on the same computer.
* 25.15% – Turned off the anti-virus software because I had the feeling it was slowing down my computer.
* 12.01% – Thought about not using the Internet because of safety reasons.
It’s not surprising that consumers try multiple security products each year since everyone is trying to find the right security product which can effectively balance protection and a computer’s resource usage” said Sorin Mustaca, data security expert of Avira. “The scary take-away from this survey is that 25 percent of the respondents admitted to just turning off their security products because they feel that it hurt the performance of the machine. That’s not a good idea because such a practice leaves the computer totally exposed to the even simplest of viruses, allowing the bad guys to include it in a botnet used to distribute malware and phishing. It is a clear sign for the vendors that even more care has to be taken in order not to overload the security software with features which may have a great impact on system performance. In the end, when it comes to security, it is better to have minimal protection which goes unnoticed than protection with all whistles and bells which the user deactivates in order to be able to use his computer.”

AVG Technologies Launches Business Resource Center
Company Research Reveals Disconnect between SMB Security Awareness and Level of Protection; One in Seven Small Businesses are not Protected against IT Security Threats
AMSTERDAM, November 18, 2010 – AVG Technologies, makers of small- and medium-sized business (SMB) and consumer anti-virus security products, today announced the launch of its web-based Business Resource Center. The Resource Center provides SMB business owners and IT managers with informative guides, blog posts, videos, demos and tools to help them protect their businesses from internet and network security threats.
AVG’s Business Resource Center was designed in response to the AVG SMB Market Landscape Report 2010, which shows that despite the fact that 83 percent of businesses surveyed recognize the need to protect against Internet security threats, a surprisingly high proportion, 1 in 7, are not deploying any IT security solutions. The Resource Center, developed in partnership with GFK Roper, is a one-stop-shop for SMB internet security and anti-virus needs. The site features downloadable AVG Small Business Security Guides that provide SMBs with a blueprint for creating effective, secure business environments. The site also offers a vibrant SMB blog with topical commentary and intelligence on emerging threats.
For those that like to work interactively, the Resource Center offers sales support via phone or email to help SMBs make the right decisions for their businesses. It also provides case studies, downloads and tutorials, many of which are illustrated with instructional videos to bring the online learning experience to life.
"As our research shows, small businesses have a fundamental understanding that Internet security threats can be a hazard to their businesses, but they obviously lack the time or the resources to adequately protect their businesses from cyber criminals who may try to steal valuable company information," said Robert Gorby, Global Head of SMB Propositions, AVG Technologies. "AVG’s Small Business Resource Center is designed to educate small- and medium- sized business owners about online threats to their businesses and provide them with a myriad of resources to help protect themselves from these threats."
