Medical Office Prescribes AVG Software to Kill Computer Virus

State of the art primary care medical clinic gets clean bill of health after installing anti-virus software from Walling Data

Claremont, NC -- (SBWire) -- 03/05/2010 -- Ghedak Ansari, IT manager of Primary and Urgent Care, knows how quickly viruses attack and the damage they cause. Every day the physician team there helps patients recover from illness and provide them with good health tips to prevent future viruses. They understand that prevention is critical.

As for Ansari, she too is all too familiar with another kind of virus - computer viruses. A few months ago, a computer virus got through her expensive anti-virus software and attacked several work stations. It was then that she knew she needed to throw out her old prescription and get a new anecdote.

“A colleague recommended AVG Anti-virus to us and we used it to clean the infected work stations,” she says.

“We tried it all before — Norton, Kaspersky, Lightspeed – but they were expensive, too complex or simply didn’t work,” says Ansari. “We couldn’t afford to sacrifice our patients’ protection. AVG Anti-Virus did such a good job cleaning up the mess that we decided to make AVG Anti-Virus our permanent remedy for security.”

Cure comes with outstanding support, no down time
Once Ansari decided to go with AVG, she went online to make the purchase. She came across Walling Data and decided to purchase AVG from them, mostly because of their competitive pricing.

“Walling offered a good deal on AVG Anti-Virus and had great customer service over the phone,” she recalls.

Walling Data is the longest-standing and highest-volume distributor of AVG Technologies solutions in North America. It offers all customers free, unlimited, U.S.-based pre- and post-sales support.

After trying competitors for one or two years each, Ansari was so impressed with AVG Anti-Virus, she signed on for three years and now uses this tough anti-virus software at both Primary and Urgent Care locations in Virginia.

Staying Healthy
“Ever since we’ve installed AVG, our network has been healthy. It is simple, intuitive and most importantly, it keeps the viruses away.”

Ansari also found some other benefits of using AVG.

“AVG absolutely has a smaller footprint. With Lightspeed and Kaspersky, you knew when a scan was running because it essentially disabled the computer it was running on. With AVG, you don't even know it's there. It helps us focus on what’s important – our patients!”
