No, AVG hasn’t figured out a way to stop the clock at work or home so you can spend more time plucking peppers and watering eggplant. What we have done is offer a promotion with social gaming developer Zynga that gives you the opportunity to tune up your PC and a bargain price so you can play FarmVille for hours on end without your computer freezing up.
How? The number one headache for online gamers are browser crashes caused by the Flash plugins that make it possible for you to play FarmVille and other games online. With AVG and FarmVille, you can easily and quite cheaply tune up your machine to prevent the crashes that get in the way of your play and get some free gifts for your homestead to boot. We are offering you the chance to download AVG PC TuneUp For just $9.99, and along with that comes a limited edition Biplane with three applications of Instant Grow—not to mention a cleaner computer, a faster Internet connection, and an optimal social gaming experience. Because that’s what FarmVille provides.
Our chief goal at AVG has always been to protect your PC without slowing it down. Otherwise, what’s the point, right? That’s why we provide smart security solutions that are light on system resources. But with the social gaming explosion comes a special need for computer performance solutions that specifically go after the registry problems that cause freezing, crashing, and overall slowing of system performance. Whether you’re on a computer, laptop or tablet, you need a solution that automatically tunes your Internet settings for the best possible connections. And if you do run into problems, you want to make sure your data is safe from being lost in the event of hard disk failure.
AVG provides all this and more, because we’re not just about protecting your computer. We’re about protecting your computer’s performance. We’re about making social games even more fun by preventing the crashes that force you to relaunch your browser or reboot your machine.
So look for AVG and FarmVille. Tend to your farm, while we tend to your PC.
