$10 off 1 year subscription to AVG Internet Security. AVG Internet Security 8.5 now contains an extra layer of security to protect you from identity theft as well as new and unknown malware. Your passwords, account information, credit card numbers, social security numbers and other valuables are safe from identity thieves. The heart of AVG Anti-Virus is the scanning engine – you can imagine it as a “black box” into which requests to scan objects enter and the box returns information indicating if these objects are virus-free or infected.

The scanning engine includes an application interface for communication with other AVG Anti-Virus components (Resident Shield, Scans, E-mail scanner modules and plug-ins etc.) which use this service. It was created with an emphasis on AVG Anti-Virus modularity and is common for all of the mentioned components.
