Basic interface is well arranged, allows users to set up "their configuration" according to their needs (ie. by creating "shortcuts" to mostly used functions and scans).

a possibility to define which test should be run
easy detection of new AVG updates on Internet, automatic download of the updates
scheduled tests overview
shortcuts to most used functions of AVG - "user interface utilization"

Every component has its own scanning configuration, including language selection for certification texts. It is also possible to setup filtering of e-mails regarding its attachment by an analysis of message content.
NEW AVG Resident Shield!
Was completely rebuilt. The former "on access" scanner became outdated and hard to maintain. Although Microsoft ended up its program and user's support for its older systems, our new resident shield works again under all operating systems of Windows 95 and higher.

Central network administration - AVGADMIN
AVGADMIN version 6.0 is a very universal product for administrating of AVG program on computer network, but there are some basic problems( ie problems with administrating bigger amount of computers, high network resources occupation, user interface...). The new AVGADMIN version 7.0 will be developed for needs of network administrators, especially regarding MS Windows standard.
