    AVG is an umbrella term for a range of anti-virus and internet security software for the Microsoft Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD computing platforms, developed by AVG Technologies, a privately held Czech company formerly known as Grisoft.

    The brand name AVG comes from Grisoft's first product, "Anti-Virus Guard", launched in 1992.

    but AVeraGe would be good.

    after all, avg is the short cut of avgerage. I guess AVG had it planned all along.

    It should be "AVeraGe" - which would describe how the software performs.
