User Ratings and Reviews

1 Star Absolutely the worst anti-virus I’ve used
AVG is the most obtrusive piece of software I have on my computer–I know that most anti-virus systems do need a lot of latitude to work, but this one is ridiculous! I realized the other day that I’ve stopped using my computer to do quick checks of things like what the weather report for tomorrow is, or do a quick check of my email before I go to bed, because I know that AVG will take 5-10 minutes to “start” (it will down load something, then it will need to update something, then it will start a scan that I don’t want to start, — etc. I’ve watched AVG sucking the system resources and CPU time from my computer on the task manager window).

As an example of the AVG philosophy I went to their website to “complain” and filled out a form they supplied. As soon as I “hit” the submit button AVG went into a “gathering system data mode” to submit with the “complaint”(without my permission)–it also bought up a message that read; “THIS MAY TAKE A FEW MINUTES” which it did– TYPICAL. When completed I noticed that the system data gathered had been “prefixed” to my “complaint” but the “system info” was so long that is caused my customer input/complaint to be truncated/pushed off the bottom of the form. This is TYPICAL AVG!!!!

Save yourself lots of time and headaches–buy something else!!!!

Wish I could give Zero stars.

2 Stars My exp. with the free version
The AVG free version does not rid your system of every bad file on it. If you have say 150 malicious ware, AVG free version will probably expell about 50 out of that. I still had so many pop ups and slow computer performance. Avg has annoying pop ups that gives you options whether to delete a bad file, quarantine, ignore etc. So you click remove or quarantine and it prompts you to restart your computer. You do everything it tells you and guess what? That same annoying pop up box keeps showing up even though you asked to remove it. A full system scan takes me about 1.5 hours and afterwards I’m still bombarded with spyware. I suspect the pay version just removes a tad more files but not too much different.

5 Stars Don’t want viruses or spyware on your machine. AVG is the answer!
AVG software is the best antivirus/ antispyware available. We use it at our office after Norton didn’t catch 9 or 10 viruses on our computers…..We went to AVG and after 2 years NO VIRUSES OR SPYWARE ON our computers + the price and 2 years subscription is unbeatable. I feel our network is protected from deadly viruses and Trojan horses. If you want protect, you need AVG.

3 Stars Ok AntiVirus software
The product is ok however, it is way over priced, McAffee and BitDefender are better and they are alot cheaper.

4 Stars AVG Anti-Virus & Anti Spyware software
I recently purchased this item and found it to be very satisfactory for my needs. I’m 83 years old and what you might call Computer Illiterate. I found this software easy to Load and scanned my system finding no problems. I gave this program 4 stars ,will probably up that evaluation later on if it continues to preform as it has since installing it on my system. I am well pleased with this product and would recommend it to anyone looking for Virus Protection.
