AMSTERDAM, July 17, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

           - MultiMi(TM) emerges from beta as a safe and smart way to connect with

                                         people -

    AVG Technologies (NYSE: AVG), the provider of internet and mobile security to 114
million active users, today announced that the free social desktop app MultiMi(TM) has
emerged from beta testing with a major update as a safe and smart way for people to manage
their online social networks.

    MultiMi is a social media integrator that helps people stay in touch with the people
that matter in their life. Whether it's Facebook, Gmail, Twitter or any other platform,
MultiMi lets users stay in touch with one click. They can drag a tweet into an email while
simultaneously updating their Facebook status or move a photo from email into Flickr or
Picasa. Not only does MultiMi help users to seamlessly integrate multiple channels, it
protects people's online activity with AVG's renowned LinkScanner(R) technology.

    "The post-beta MultiMi incorporates a year's worth of performance enhancements and
feature requests we received from many engaged and active social media consumers," said
Eidan Apelbaum, CEO of Zbang It, creator of MultiMi. "Our testers did a great job
providing us exactly the feedback our developers needed for us to evaluate, update, and
elevate the platform as compared to competing solutions."

    Improvements resulting from the beta testing include:

   
    - A major aesthetic overhaul
    - Full home and tab customization
    - Ability to edit and save photos from various sources
    - A built-in RSS reader
    - Support for Google Reader
    - Support for Pocket (formerly Read It Later)
    - The built-in browser now uses Chromium instead of Internet Explorer which
      helped improve performance

    "As people spend more time online and use multiple platforms to engage with one
another, we are constantly searching for ways to simplify, improve and better secure their
online experience," said JR Smith, CEO of AVG Technologies. "With MultiMi, AVG offers
users the tools to get the most out of Facebook, Gmail, Twitter, LinkedIn and more.
Whether they want to post commentaries, tweet news, share holiday photos, or post images
of a new fascination - MultiMi makes the process fast and safe. With AVG's LinkScanner
security technology, MultiMi protects a user's personal information from the worst of the
Web's threats."
