    * "A Conversation with Roger Thompson"

    AVG has produced a printed interview with Chief Research Officer Roger
Thompson, in which he identifies the most pressing Internet security
threats facing businesses today. Roger discusses:



    -- The rise of the dynamic, transient threat -- how the bad guys are
       attempting to perfect the art of hit and run Web attacks that
       conventional Internet security defenses miss
    -- Search engines under attack -- how organic and paid search engine
       results get hijacked, and why Google is relatively helpless to stop
       them
    -- Ad networks under attack -- how the bad guys are leveraging ad
       syndication networks to poison hundreds of trusted web sites in a
       single attack
    -- Social networks under attack -- how the bad guys are using popular
       trusted social networks like MySpace and Facebook to spread exploits
       and creative social engineering attacks
