AVG, the Australian, New Zealand and South Pacific distributor of AVG Anti-Virus and Internet Security products, has joined forces with Suncorp Bank to offer a free 90-day trial and discounted license of AVG Internet Security software to the bank's customers.
Suncorp Bank launched the 90-day free trial of AVG Internet Security on its website to coincide with National E-security Awareness Week.
Simon Clarke, Internet Banking Specialist from Suncorp Bank's eChannels team, said the company had been considering its options for a security software offer when it was approached by AVG (A/NZ).
"I was already familiar with AVG and knew them to be a reliable vendor with a high quality product, so we were happy to explore a joint opportunity," he said.
"Our customers can take advantage of the AVG offer by clicking the "Online Security" link (http://www.suncorp.com.au/suncorp/security/default.aspx) on the Suncorp website, which allows them to quickly and easily download the trial software.
Clarke said for 90 days customers surf the Internet, send and receive emails, download music, movies and do their shopping and banking online without any fear of being infected or having their identity compromised.
"The trial includes automatic updates and real-time scans," he said.
"AVG has put together a price for those wanting to upgrade to a 12 or 24 month licence at the end of the trial."
Lloyd Borrett, marketing manager at AVG (A/NZ) said Suncorp Bank customers will have the opportunity to subscribe for a 12 or 24 month licence at a 15 percent discount off RRP.
He said AVG (A/NZ) welcomed the opportunity to partner with a high profile financial institution like Suncorp Bank.
