AVG Anti-Virus is a selection of anti-virus and internet security software developed by AVG technologies for multiple platforms including Windows, Mac and Linux.

AVG technologies formerly known as Grisoft launched its first product named Anti-Virus Guard (AVG) in 1992 in Czechoslovakia, a simple but effective free anti-virus program for Windows. By 1998 the AVG software was introduced to Germany, UK and the U.S. with the free edition of the program raising awareness for AVG. With advances in computer software technology and a rise in internet security risks AVG evolved over the years to include a whole range of new security features in the AVG anti-virus package such as anti-spyware, root-kit protection, anti-spam, e-mail protection, web-browsing filter and a P2P monitor all working to effectively identify and eliminate security risks.
