Written on: 19/05/2020 by oeRoy494 (1 review written)
I have used AVG twice in the past.. purchased there Ultimate Anti-Virus for one year.. 5 months later a Virus destroyed my Computer... there Anti Virus is Garbage.

TERRIBLE PLACE TO DO BUSINESS… Read Full Review

“Excellent”
Written on: 27/06/2018 by GeofD (19 reviews written)
Had some Adware problems thatI couldnt get rid of. Found live chat/tech support at AVG, and they sorted it quickly. I am very impressed with the whole Anti Virus package, which I paid for, which really is the way to go. Tried others ...this is the best in my opinion… Read Full Review

“Too many adverts”
Written on: 17/01/2016 by LeandroCompton (1 review written)
I am no computer expert and to protect my computer I have in the past always paid for McAfee protection, without any complaint or problem, this year I decided on a change and purchased AVG Antivirus, since then I have had countless adverts forced onto my computer trying to get be to purchase additional products from AVG. If I was using the free version I would expect to have to put up with this constant intrusion, but not if I have paid good money for it. I will not be renewing my contract with… Read Full Review

“Great Stuff ”
Written on: 29/08/2015 by eddduck1948 (44 reviews written)
AVG `Internet 2015` and its sister software `PC Clean Up` is available free for a short time to try out. I have used it for a while and was impressed with how it functioned. It is easy to use. It worked with Windows 10 and Windows 7. The clean up software seems to `sort out` the PC`s and using Chrome browser with AVIRA (not a fan of Avira-but it seems to work)`secure search` (which is part of Chrome)- i feel i am covered by most eventualities. I have purchased both products… Read Full Review

“TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND DISHONEST”
Written on: 23/10/2013 by thaiwifenetwork (1 review written)
They offered AVG full version in PC pro Magazine, but after they get you to register and open account, they do not send you the serial number. This is a big marketing scams. They do not reply to emails, there are many people still waiting for their serial numbers, just read the forum. I have nothing but praise for other vendors like Bitdefender,Symantec and Avast. AVG IF YOU ARE READING THIS STOP THIS DISHONEST MARKETING PRACTICE, customers are not fools like you think they are, they will… Read Full Review

“Terrible customer service but AVG quick to take your money”
Written on: 29/10/2012 by RosieFranc (1 review written)
I have had AVG security for my laptop for four years, recommended by an IT firm. Each year renewal is made automatically by AVG. They are contactable when it comes to payment but not easily contactable at all when it comes to queries. In fact they are downright invisible. This year I gotthe Babylon virus and I had to pay and IT chap to come to my home to remove it. He said that the AVG I was running was a version from 2009 although payment had been made in 2010, 2011 and 2012. I tried to… Read Full Review

“I currently use AVG on my new laptop, after having...”
Written on: 05/12/2009 by marcusJL12 (4 reviews written)
I currently use AVG on my new laptop, after having replaced McAfee which continuously bugged me with reminder pop-ups to renew a license. Updating it is plain simplicity, either manually or directly from their website via the main user interface. Not using AVG for me would be a complete no-brainer. It seems to me that AVG is not given the praise it deserves from retailers - with (and this is a FACT) a sales assistant from PC World telling me that AVG was nothing short of a virus in itself. As a… Read Full Review

Written on: 01/10/2009 by jasonx1 (107 reviews written)
AVG Technologies Antivirus 8.5.285 is the latest version. and i been using avg now for over a year and its the best antivirus out there so far. only had 1 or 2 probelms with the updates not installing but a quick look around the net solved it. its a shame that most pc shops try and sell you norton which the best version of norton was 2004 then it slowed your pc so much its useless. for a free software it does it job and has spyware built in. 10 out of 10… Read Full Review

Written on: 03/06/2010 by Dee Featist (36 reviews written)
AVG 9.0 Fully licensed. Always used AVG on our main machine used for banking etc (Win7 64bit). Whilst using the free version on other computers. Much improved now that the scan time is shorter. Licensed version is far more flexible with respect to controlling scanning schedule. We have tried the bundled AV that comes with most new pcs but quickly found that AVG is better value… Read Full Review

“ AVG Anti-Virus Professional 7.5.503 ”
Written on: 07/05/2010 by medsen (6 reviews written)
AVG Anti-Virus Professional 7.5.503
AVG's most popular product is its free antivirus, but the company also makes two enhanced security suites that are geared for users who don't mind paying for additional protection--as long as it's worthwhile. AVG Anti-Virus 9 introduces a few new features, claiming faster scan times, faster boot times, and other under-the-hood improvements.
Users who've used AVG 8 will find the interface nearly identical, and generally it's easy to use. From the main…

Written on: 31/01/2011
I'm using AVG free for years now, i've never had a problem accept the mistake they made with the windows dll wich caused my computer to fail booting .. It doesn't slow my computer down (i've heard otherwise but that is maybe because some people still use old computers) It is very easy to use, and its free.. so honestly i think it's the best you can get for ZERO money .. I have tried avast in the past but to my opinion it wasn't up to point yet. Now i hear avast might my as good as AVG and that… Read Full Review

“I'm in a suitably good mood! ”
Written on: 29/10/2010
I'm in a suitably good mood!
After years of checking, in the wee hours, that the AVG update function is performing as set, after years of avoiding reboots 'cause AVG "loses" the update settings and the whole damn thing has to be done over, after years of annoying, nagging pop-up's trying to part me from a hard earned dollar for a system that is no better than its peers, after years of being directed to a in-house forum where any criticism is deflected/deleted by the moderators, after battling…

“This is free so why pay more, the most any home user...”
Written on: 15/09/2010 by leighwont (8 reviews written)
This is free so why pay more, the most any home user will ever really need. There maybe better packages out there but not by much and I would say not worth the yearly subscription. Also just because another Antivirus finds other 'infections' doesn't mean they were missed. Some use heavy handed heuristics that call anything with 'crack' or 'keygen' in the name an infection. This may be taking a cautious approach, which isn't necessarily bad, but doesn't mean an infection has been missed. I've… Read Full Review
