PRESS RELEASE
Avira's First Recommendation is Encryption App PRIVATE WiFi that Provides Privacy for All Online Activities While Using Public WiFi Hotspots
London, England - May 20, 2014 - Security expert Avira announced today that it will begin recommending apps on its own iOS Mobile Security App under the Recommended tab. The first app being recommended by Avira is PRIVATE WiFi, an app for iOS users, which encrypts the WiFi signal in public hotspots to offer privacy to users who want additional protection for personal and sensitive information.
PRIVATE WiFi is a product of Private Communications Corporation. PRIVATE WiFi works by encrypting the Internet signal in public hotspots. With the encryption, everything users do via that public hotspot is private, including emails, online banking, photos, social networking, and all other activity.
"Avira takes its job providing security for millions of users worldwide very seriously, and we also offer our recommendations very seriously as well. We feel that PRIVATE WiFi offers users a comprehensive way to keep their personal information and surfing habits private while using a public WiFi location," said Lance Jacobs, North America's General Manager for Avira. "This is the first app that Avira has publicly recommended, and there will be more recommendations in the months to come with apps that live up to our tough standards."
"We're honoured that a security technology company as well regarded as Avira recommends PRIVATE WiFi's VPN as a solution to protect consumers against the threats public WiFi poses," said Kent Lawson, President and CEO, PRIVATE WiFi. "Like Avira, we empower people to go about their business on the Internet-wherever they are-without fear."
