Scam

It’s advertised as free it is not!!!

“TOO MANY !”

Too many, that are political msgs are being “STOPPED / BLOCKED,” by a specific commercial site’s personal
“LIKES/DISLIKES,
rather than to let ,
“FREE SPEECH” to be selected by the end-user’s choice…
(( It can’t go on,
UNNOTICED ! ))
Give us back our
FREEDOM of
SPEECH,
[ Listening ] ‼️

Didn't ask for this.. didn't know it was auto renewed. My fixed income doesn't allow this. I can't get my refund!

AVG Security Apps

I’ve been a PC AVG multiple subscription customer for many years and for a while now on my iPhone. I’ve mostly been highly satisfied with their products & services.

Although lately I’m having problems managing my AVG account. It says the Current Status of my AVG subscription not available. Yet it shows their expiration dates in 2027, (if I don’t renew).

I recently received AVG messages that I can use my AVG apps on my cellphone at no extra cost; and share my AVG apps with up to Five family members. So I followed the directions, but haven’t been able to get these working yet.

I’m no IT expert… I’m just an 83 yr old disabled Vietnam veteran, with lots of health problems.

Love this mobile security

This is my second time only wish it was the same price as before when I was on it last year

Photo Vault Locks Up

Upon opening photo vault, the thumbnails are visible. Depressing any thumbnail locks up the screen.
However. adding photos to the photo vault is possible, but unable to display them beyond looking at the thumbnails.

Issue with security alert history

I have used AVG Mobile Security on my iOS devices for some time. I find web guard particularly useful but just recently if I get an alert notification I can’t seem to open the alert history and view which web page has caused the alert to be triggered. Without this information it’s difficult to take appropriate action.

I LOVE THIS

What I do on a daily basis requires two antivirus I think and I’m using this one I’m thinking of getting a third one, tho

Good !

Saved me a lot of times from hackers

Was charged when pressed free trial option only

I pressed where it said try for 7 days free didn’t put any upgrades or etc. and my card was charged this is a whole scam I cancelled it right after getting it within a hour of downloading so it wasn’t a I waited until the time passed situation.

Ótimo

A muito tempo tenho ele e sempre me mantive satisfeito com o produto, nunca tive problemas. Só quando migrei pro iOS não tinha opção de varredura, mas acho que isso tem a ver com as permissões do sistema da Apple ou algo do tipo.

Response from developer

Olá! Agradecemos por continuar satisfeito com o AVG. Entendemos sua observação sobre a varredura após a mudança para o iOS. Para esclarecer quais recursos estão disponíveis no seu dispositivo, consulte nossa equipe em support.avg.com. *AVG

Protects and lets you know everything

Good work avg

Is it worth it?

It not only blocks potential spam, it blocks all of the Google news feeds

Acaba com a saúde da bateria

Meu celular em menos de 1 ano tá com a saúde de 90% por causa dele, come a bateria toda

Response from developer

Olá, Marcelo. O AVG Mobile Security foi desenvolvido para usar poucos recursos, e o consumo excessivo de bateria não é esperado. Verifique se o app e o iOS estão atualizados e reinicie o dispositivo. Se o problema continuar, envie o modelo do iPhone e a versão do iOS em support.avg.com para investigarmos. *AVG

Goof Griddle

I've been using "free" AVG for 10-15 yrs. 1.) Allow, 2.) Use "free" (as if a "puppy") 3.) Remove within 8 hrs. 4.) Tah-Dah, & Ow La La 🎶 🎼 thx, AVG

AVG is better than McAfee VPN

I was using McAfee VPN but the app continues to drop the VPN connection at the worst times when I open other apps like my banking website, other apps. When that happens the apps will not load or reload because McAfee is not stable VPN! So, I came back to the avg which is a stable app

Web shield blocks all internet

Avg used to great now it blocks any internet connectivity at all if you activate web shield. This is silly. After years being a loyal customer I’m done fiddling with settings that prevent using your computer. Avg fix your issues this started happening months ago. And continues to get worse with each update.

Ben

Been using AVG since the early 90s, it’s never let me down.

VPN

Like many other reviews my vpn constantly turns its self on and off.
Why do you had updates that never solve the problem.
It leaves us unprotected.
Scam calls still getting through.
I have had 3 scam calls in 2 days.
Also scam emails.
I thought using AVG was supposed to stop scam calls and emails getting through. Sadly it doesn’t.
