LinkScanner Moves to a New Home

We’re pleased to inform you that Exploit Prevention Labs has been acquired by AVG, makers of the leading anti-virus and other security software of the same name. This move will bring you significant benefits in the form of a huge increase in the size and reach of our research operation, thanks to AVG’s 62 million users and their own internal malware research team.

In the short term, there will be no change to update deliveries or support procedures, and the websites at www.linkscanner.com and www.explabs.com will remain operational. Over time, these procedures and websites will merge with AVG’s procedures and websites; we will keep you updated by email and through in-product announcements. Roger Thompson, co-founder and CTO of Exploit Prevention Labs, will take on the role of Chief Research Officer for the combined companies, so there’ll certainly be no let-up in the real-time research that’s so essential to safe surfing and safe searching in today’s Web 2.0 world.

We encourage you to explore the AVG website, www.avg.com, and try out their products if you’re not familiar with them. We expect to be able to make some special offers to registered LinkScanner users soon!

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us by replying to this email.

With best wishes for a safe and happy holiday season
