Press Release Summary: Nationally syndicated radio network turns to the experts for
comprehensive threat protection.


Press Release Body: Peter Trahan has been the Systems Operation
Director at Radio America, a national radio network, for the past eight years. When
he first
joined the non-profit, it was evident he had work to do – the organization had more
than 40
workstations, but not a single one of them was running anti-virus software.

“Job number one was to get some anti-virus protection onto the workstations,” said
Trahan. “So the search was on for a solution that was powerful yet inexpensive. As a
non-profit, we have to count every penny we spend, and at that time we decided to go
with a free product. We chose AVG Free Edition, and we were very pleased with the
results.”

However, it was clear that using AVG Free across 40 PCs in a business environment –
nonprofit or no - was not the best long-term solution, nor within the terms of the
license Trahan discovered. So Trahan started to look around for a way to convert the
Free license to the commercial version of the software, and found Walling Data on
AVG.com.

“The purchase process was very simple and straightforward,” Trahan remembered. “I
emailed
Walling with our needs and they called us back to walk us through setting everything
up. The centralized management tool in particular makes my job so much easier. In
fact, the whole
process of converting to the commercial product couldn’t have been easier – and
there was no extra charge for the service, which was another pleasant surprise.”

Walling Data is the longest-standing and highest-volume distributor of AVG
Technologies solutions in North America, and also the only distributor to offer all
its customers free, unlimited, U.S.-based pre- and post-sales support. Walling
additionally provides nonprofit organizations
with a significant discount on AVG products, making them an even more attractive
choice for
Radio America.

Trahan admits that, in addition to the unlimited free support they would receive,
the price break
for non-profits was the icing on the cake.

“As a non-profit, we don’t have a very big IT budget, so price is always an issue
for us,” Trahan said. “We were very happy to discover that we got a pretty nice
discount on licenses through
Walling Data. That was a big plus.”

Since installing AVG, Trahan says that he has had no issues with viruses or other
malware and
is completely sold on the product and the service he receives through Walling Data.
