Press Release Summary: Walling Data, the nation's top distributor of AVG Security
products, provides behind-the-scenes expertise and personalized service.

Press Release Body: Communication Network Design (CND), a telecommunications and
managed service provider in San Antonio, Texas, prides itself on top-notch customer
service. Hundreds of area small businesses turn to CND for expert advice on
everything from phone systems to software applications.

The task of seeking out and recommending the most appropriate software for
individual customer requirements falls to CND Office Manager Carla Bowman, who
oversees purchasing for the company. Security is top-of-mind with many of CND's
customers and Bowman says that, when it comes to anti-virus software, the choice of
what to recommend is an easy one.

"We live and die by our customer service reputation, so any software program we
recommend must be a good fit for the customer's business," Bowman said. "As far as
anti-virus software is concerned, there are two fundamental requirements - a high
level of protection and a low level of visibility. AVG meets those requirements in
spades - it's unobtrusive and protects against a wide range of potential security
threats. Powerful, affordable and easy to use make it our number one recommendation
for malware protection."

Many of the customers approaching CND for advice are already using another antivirus
program. However, Bowman notes that a common factor amongst these companies is a
higher level of frustration and general dissatisfaction with workstation efficiency
and productivity.

"Nine times out of ten, when a new customer is having problems with getting good
performance out of their workstations, the culprit turns out to be the anti-virus
software they're using," she explained. "Problems can range from sluggish
performance to slow email and browser response to full-blown virus infections. But
whatever the manifestation, we always recommend they take a long hard look at their
current anti-virus and download a Free Trial version of AVG to compare the two."

"In the years I've been recommending AVG, I've had virtually no negative feedback
about AVG's protection. It simply does not get in the way of doing business - and
that's the way all security products should be."

Walling Data, the Preferred Source for AVG

Walling Data is the longest-standing and highest-volume distributor of AVG
Technologies solutions in North America. Walling Data is also the only distributor
to offer all its customers - resellers and end-users - free, unlimited, U.S.-based
pre- and post-sales support.

"Communication Network Design has worked with Walling Data since launching their IT
Department," Bowman said. "Our technicians are full of praise for Walling's
rapid-response service, and I really appreciate the fast turnaround on inquiries and
orders that ensure our customers always have the highest level of protection."

As an example of how CND's customers benefit from the customer service they receive
from Walling Data, Bowman recalls a time recently when the company's technicians
needed some assistance in easing the upgrade process for customers moving from AVG
Anti-Virus 7.5 to 8.0 due to the new system requirements.

"The support team at Walling was exceedingly helpful throughout the entire process,"
said Bowman. "Walling provides excellent customer service, therefore we have no
plans to change the way we purchase or service our customers' antivirus protection
requirements."
