AVG Secures Access to Social Networks Via Updated Browser Toolbar
May 2010 by Marc Jacob
AVG Technologies announced that it has updated its browser toolbar to include secure access to Facebook, Skype and weather updates. The toolbar functions as a secure portal through which alerts, pokes, friend requests, event invitations and status updates can be made. A proprietary Facebook Notifier feature can be configured to show only alerts that users want to receive.
The AVG toolbar is available now and included for free as an optional installation in all of AVG’s security software products. Current AVG customers will receive the new toolbar functions as part of their next scheduled update; users with the AVG Security Toolbar already installed will be prompted to update.
