AVG Family Safety extends protection to iPhones, iPads and Windows Phone devices
June 2012 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
AVG Technologies releases a major update to AVG Family Safety® for iOS® and introduces AVG Family Safety for Windows® Phone.
AVG now provides users of iPhones®, iPads® and Windows Phone devices protection for the whole family with the AVG Family Safety browser. Websites that are known to be malicious or contain scams or malware will be blocked using data provided by AVG’s LinkScanner® technology. It comes on top of the built-in mobile security provided by the operating system.
If parents link the app to an AVG Family Safety account, a web interface enables them to manage enhanced filtering options and customize the list of allowed and blocked sites across PCs and mobile devices. Parents can monitor the online activity of the different users and block social networking and other sites per individual login for each child.
The versions are available for free from the Windows Phone Marketplace and the Apple® App Store or from the AVG website at www.avg.com/avg-family-safety. Minimum requirements are a device running Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango) or an iPhone, iPad or iPod® Touch running iOS 4.3.
