AVG LinkScanner Tutorial for Mac Users

This past weekend, I visited Arizona State University where my brother has been accepted to college. During the presentation that they give to incoming freshman, one concerned mother asked the speaker about what the college does to protect student privacy over the internet. The speaker mentioned that at orientation incoming students are encouraged to download AVG LinkScanner. The parent seemed content with this answer, but I on the other hand had no idea what this was!

Due to the fact that we have been learning about Secure Email in this class, I decided to research AVG LinkScanner and discovered that it is a completely free way to protect both your computer and your information. In my final tutorial, I will show you guys how to download this wonderful system and encourage you all to keep your information safe!
