AVG has announced the launch of its new Zen,
a tool to manage the protection, performance, and privacy of all your
PC and Android devices from one place. Zen allows you to add any of your
and your family's devices, so you can monitor their security remotely.
AVG Zen was first revealed
at the Mobile World Congress in February. It gives you a centralized
hub where you can see the security status of your various devices, and
works with all of AVG's main products: AVG Internet Security, AVG PC
TuneUp, AVG PrivacyFix, AVG Antivirus for Android, AVG Cleaner for
Android, AVG PrivacyFix for Android and AVG Zen Admin for Android apps.
AVG isn't the only company who sees centralized device management as the future for security apps. We saw Remo MORE at the Mobile World Congress, which lets you optimize performance, manage files and more remotely too.
We spoke to AVG's security evangelist Tony Anscombe in February, who
said the company tried to create something that was very easy to use and
understand. He said it would give parents the knowledge and power to
manage their family's security and privacy settings. The interface is
very simple, and clearly shows you the status of each of your connected
devices, while making it easy to change the settings on any of them.
