AVG Secure Search is a browser toolbar from antivirus vendor AVG Technologies. The toolbar is supposed to protect users from malicious websites. It’s not clear if the toolbar updates itself, so users should make sure that they download and install the latest version.

The issue is the perfect example of how third-party programs bundled with free software can increase the security risks.”]
