The Dangers of Web-based Threats

Even visiting web pages can be risky!

Viruses aren’t the only thing that can harm your computer. Hackers are out there too, looking to take control of web pages and infiltrate your computer.

Web-based threats like exploits, phishing, and social engineering can corrupt your computer, steal your identity or make your computer part of a "bot" network. AVG is committed to protecting you while online, and is constantly analyzing web sites on the Internet for these and other threats.
