The diversity and ever-expanding use of IT applications have created a variety of ethical issues. These issues divided into four general categories that are privacy issues, accuracy issues, property issues and accessibility issues.
However, I just want to tell about privacy issues in the AVG Anti Virus. In AVG Anti Virus, this privacy policy applies to all personally identifiable information about the registered users (end user data), and related to the use of the AVG Technologies websites. AVG Technologies fully complies with the Act and expends the maximum effort to protect such personal information.
AVG Technologies as a security software producer have provided this Privacy Policy to inform the user how user personal information will be collected, tracked, stored, used, and protected, and to give they choices as to what personal information they wish to share with AVG Technologies.
The IP address from which user access the internet, the date and time, the internet address of the website from which user link directly to their website, the name of the file or the words user search, and the browser that user use to access their website will be collected and stored automatically. This information is used to measure the number of visitors of website and to identify system performance. This information is not correlated with any personal information and will not disclose in a form that personally identifies the user.
AVG Technologies have taken security measures, to protect user personal information. These measures include technical and procedural steps to protect user personal information from misuse, unauthorized access, loss, alteration, or destruction. All user information is stored on the secure servers. For instance, Credit card information is transmitted using secure socket layer (SSL) encryption.
Industry-standard encryption is used to enhance the security of data transmissions and have implemented commercially available technologies to guard against unauthorized access to any personal information that is stored electronically by AVG Technologies. The personal information about user is restrict to those AVG Technologies employees who need to know the information for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
The user used password to access to the AVG website and it is responsible for keeping the password confidential. They will ask the user not to share the password to anyone and always log out before leaving a service to protect access of user information. . Once they have received user information, they will use strict procedures and security features to ensure the security on their systems and to try to prevent unauthorized access.
AVG Security Suite 8
The free AVG Antivirus from AVG Technologies (formerly Grisoft) is popular worldwide. The company's AVG Security Suite 8 combines this antivirus with firewall and spam protection, antispyware, exploit protection, and put them in an integrated package to make it attracted. . However, it doesn't include the parental-control or privacy protection features in many suites, because not every user needs those.
This version looks completely different, and most of the problems that reported are gone. The main window now emphasizes three essential areas: status (with an overview display), on-demand scanning, and program updates. The default overview pane shows the disposition of a dozen program elements. If there's a problem, just double-click the element's icon to fix it.
