Avg was good at first, but, went downhill quickly. I found that it allows anything connected to crypt info to download itself into document and download folders, eating up space and folders. This crypt crap needs to stop. I don't want it on my phone. Avg does nothing to remove the intrusive site info. Therefore, upon renewal, avg will not be getting my business. It's sickening that I pay a good amount of money, but, avg wants to nickel and dime you to death for this and that. It's rather false advertisement to me. Avg won't allow more important driver updates unless you buy into it, so, I have to find another way to keep my phones and desktop running smoothly. I miss Kaspersky. It never gave me issues and never slowed my computer down like McAfee and Norton. I tried avg and now regret it, another waste of money for a useless product. Avg, you suck.
I agreed to buy their software for 19.99 and it states for 12 month period. They did not specify that was a monthly charge. There is no way to access your account online to cancel, that should tell you something. So its only been 2 months, but I'm pissed. I did not agree to any reoccurring charges. The phone number to cancel this invasion is *******258. Stay away from these people at all cost.
Purchased The AVG Anti-track software and the activation code did not work.I wasted one hour with a technician that has poor English language.she could not fix the issue. I asked for a refund.She transferred me to the billing and I left on hold for 15 minutes. Them I called the billing again placed on hold for 48 minutes. It is very strange because when you contact sale they respond in ONE minute or less but request refund it will take you forever. Stay Away bad experience and very poor customer service.
They have taken $85. From my account for this PC tune up which I do not have. I contacted them and they said they would refund my money within 7 days. Now it has been more than two weeks and nothing at all. I do not recommend this business at all, they are very crooked and thieves as well as liars.
I've used AVG free for some time without issue. Then I decided to pay for some of its other features. In speaking to a representative, I stupidly let her talk me into a "bundle", even though I wasn't thoroughly convinced that VPN and such were necessary. I installed the "bundle" and the problems started -- the main one being, it somehow disconnect our wireless printer. My husband spent nearly an hour on the phone with their "technician" only to be told he couldn't solve the issue and that we needed a "special technician". (It was a panic situation as I needed the printer immediately!) So, we paid their stupid $110 to speak to another person who finally solved the printer issue. Now our issue is the VPN and how it interferes with just about everything (viewing certain sites, etc.)... to the point I had to disable it in order to get anything done. I don't have any hopes of getting our money back but I certainly won't be renewing anything from AVG any time soon.
In 2023, after problems, I paid AVG $95.98 for my Internet Security & VPN. In Feb this year I received a notice that a payment of $119.99 was due in Mar. I decided to keep the Auto Payment option. On checking my bank account, AVG had taken an extra $93.99. There was no mention of this payment or reminder whatsoever from AVG, they raided my bank account without my knowledge or permission. I have discovered that the payment is for VPN. I would not have paid this amount, had I known. I have asked for a full refund of $93.99
I have been a customer of AVG for some years. I noticed a sum had been withdrawn from my bank account in addition to my annual subscription to AVG. I was not consulted or notified of this additional fee. I went through my records & found that they had altered my subscriptions. This was done without my knowledge. I was paying A$109.99 to AVG for the last 2-3 years. They separated my account items & charged me an additional A$89.99. I will not be renewing my AVG account. I have noticed other complaints of a similar nature.
I installed AVG Cleaner on my tablet, and when I tried to run it, the tablet stopped working. Now it won't boot and it cannot be fixed, so I'm out $139.99. Do NOT install AVG products onto your devices!
Do not accept any software on a 60 day trial, bad idea. I was suppose a receive a notification at the end of the 60 day trial, instead I was charged $80.55. I called AVG and they wanted to download a program on my system. I did not understand why something has to be loaded on computer to remove this trail my computer. I did not download anything when I accepted the 60 trial in June.
Now I have received an email notifying me that I will be charged additional $80.55. How do I get this canceled? Calling the company is nit much help.
Please do not offer me any more free software.
Was offered a two year subscription on a special which I purchased. After two months I was offered a renewal of my original purchase. My Anti Virus protection was removed and my hard drive was corrupted by the Ransom Virus.No satisfaction from AVG support who keeping fobbing me off with we will try to help you. But the hard drive cannot be used. I have paid for two years in November 2022 but still do not have the Anti Virus protection from AVG and I keep receiving E Mails to say "We want you back" but I have paid for two years. No refund of course. So payment made and no protection. Order No *************
I paid for a full year's subscription for this service and the pop-ups would show up with the issues I had. When I went to click to resolve the issues the pop-up would ask for money-- another subscription. I called the company and sent them the eReceipt I had showing I paid for the coverage. They could not assure me that the system was working on my computer. I will never use AVG again.
Answer: Yes. You don't ever want to have several anti virus software running against each other. They do not compliment each other
Answer: I used avast on my first computers. It worked okay. Really type in what is the best anti virus software in google. Avast isn't in the running for my opinion. AS i've said before in another post, don't get cheep about this. There are some good deals, but you'll have to spend hours doing the research.
