AVG Technologies (NYSE: AVG), the provider of Internet and mobile
security to 143 million active users, today announced an agreement with
the leading multimedia software applications and platforms provider,
Nero.
Under the terms of the new deal, Nero will bundle AVG’s Secure Search
solution as part of each offering within its extensive product suite.
Handing privacy back to the user through integrated AVG Do Not Track
technology, AVG Secure Search alerts users before they visit dangerous
websites, making sure their identity, personal information, and computer
are protected.
“Nero’s mission is to create content that can then be distributed
anytime, anywhere and on any device. Security is a fundamental component
of this, enabling us to provide consumers with the freedom to simply
enjoy their music, photos, and videos. Working with such an innovative
and dynamic company as AVG is a natural fit for us,” said Jürgen Kurz,
CEO of Nero.
“As we play out more and more of our lives online, securing your data
and digital privacy has never been more important,” said JR Smith, CEO
of AVG Technologies. “But there’s no need for it to be complicated, nor
for it to restrict the way you live your life. AVG’s easy-to-use
technologies make it simple to protect you and your family online, and
we are delighted that this exciting new partnership with Nero will allow
even more people to enjoy enhanced digital freedom and peace of mind.”
