Room for improvement but it has kept me safe for several years when other people I know have lost their content. It does what it says it will do but is always trying to frighten you into buying more services, which is beneath them really. I have just renewed so that is the best recommendation I can give.

AVG is a great product without fuss offering you the opportunity to upgrade should you need further levels of protection. It also doesn't hog your resources "behind the scenes" which is a massive bugbear of other products

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I have used free AVG for many years and it has been a good antivirus. I had been using McAfee and got a virus in my computer anyway, so I got AVG free and it has been great, but I thought I had gotten something in my computer last year and upgraded to have been safe so far with the full version.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

since the late '9O's AVG, (the free version, I'm very poor!) has kept me safe from the worst of web nasties, it's always been reliable, fuss free and reassuringly in the background. I've recommended it to friends, family, clients etc and will continue to do so. Well done AVG! especially for ur 'free version' for those less able to afford another monthly outlay, very socially responsible! (I know u have other less worthy motives for the free option but it's still a very good thing). Yay the Czech Republic and AVG! Thanku

AVG is excellent software

AVG is excellent software, massively marred by its 'usa' style of constantly pestering you with popups to buy shit from them, even though you're already a paid subscriber

AVG = Average.

AVG always makes me think of the word "average." The program seems pretty average to me.

AVG was good but this time they scammed me and took away $40 from my account by fraud. Bank informed me that AVG through scammers in Singapore reverse entered my PC and finding some bank details, took away $40. AVG replies that it is their policy and why should I object? Had to reformat and lose lot of time and material. AVG is now a scammer. May their folks burn in hell.

AVG better than McAfee

I have used free AVG for many years and it has been a good antivirus. I had been using McAfee and got a virus in my computer anyway, so I got AVG free and it has been great, but I thought I had gotten something in my computer last year and upgraded to have been safe so far with the full version.
