AVG Antivirus Reviews

I got ripped off by this company also. Charged me $106 for a renewal fee that I knew nothing about. Charged me on 1st of the month on credit card. Didn't receive C.C. bill till 10th of next month. Representative said sorry 30 days past. $106 for a $30 product. Also claimed to have sent email. Apparently, I didn't or I would of told them to shove a 300% price hike.

I went to AVG in 2019 on the recommendation of a friend who is IT professionally. I immediately paid for a couple of services. The first two years were great, except at some point during every interaction, the tech tried to upsell me. I was so happy to have an IT service for my home computers, that I often took the bait. To date, I've spent more than $500 with AVG. Sometime in 2021, the quality of service fell off considerably. Now, they never fix anything. They tell me either that my subscription is expired or that I need to upgrade.

Their software was relentless at putting up popups on my screen trying to sell me more products. I had had enough. So I waited for the subscription to run out to cancel. BIG MISTAKE. They hit my bank through PayPal a day early and I am in my 5th week of fighting to get my refund. I had blocked the payment because I had read they are ruthless about refunds. I didn't block Digital River and that was how the charge appeared so they went around the block I put on them. They give a song and dance about having 30 days to cancel. **

Avoid AVG and Avast! It will cost you! AVG has been charging my credit card for 4 years without my knowledge at various amounts for the last 4 years. I don't even have the product even on my computer. They are known for selling data! Avast has taken over as a browser and it is very difficult/impossible to uninstall. AVG won't refund!

Once they have your info they take money at will. They supposedly have a 30 day return policy that they don't honor. I will have to dispute it with my bank. They are a terrible company. Free doesn't exist. They charged me $81 without any notice.

I received a notice from Paypal that my subscription to AVG was being automatically renewed and a charge placed to my account two weeks prior to expiration date I tried unsuccessfully for two hours to cancel my renewal via AVG. I received no prior notice of renewal prior to my Paypal account being charged. At that point, however, I tried to cancel online with AVG, I was instructed to have a live "chat". I even tried to find unsuccessfully any phone numbers to call. I even sent a message to another website of AVG to try to cancel but got no response. Finally, after two hours of trying cancel my renewal and obtain a refund, I was forced to "chat."

Hello, I had bought online AVG Internet Security for my pc from their partner Avast-tn.com and I want to talk about their antispyware "AVG Sensitive data Shield" feature that is to supposed to scan my documents on my pc and secure them against unauthorized access. Till now, nothing really new, most of antivirus do that. What impressed me, is that I can prevent user accounts, my wife or my child for example who have signed on my pc, to have access to my Windows session and open my documents protected with Sensitive data Shield feature. That's cool.

I have used Free AVG for many years and was satisfied until recently when they charged me $89.00 for use of an upgraded service that I did not order. As a senior and not a real techie I felt the Free AVG was good enough for me. I contacted them and requested a refund as I did not authorize the $89.00 payment but they refused. I warn others to start checking their credit cards or bank accounts and make the same hasn't happened to them I feel it is theft by deception.

I tried AVG long ago and have stuck with them since I have not suffered any successful incursions so far. They have always been ahead of the game. Been very satisfied with their VPN and AntiVirus apps.

Great user interface and a great price. Customer support is good. Updates are always available on a frequent basis which means they update to the latest threats consistently. I've used them for years and it has never let me down.
