User Review of AVG AntiVirus:

This antivirus is fast, constantly updating and effective. AVG actually saved me from an attack 3 weeks ago when I plugged in a new flash drive that I bought online which was infected. Totally saved me! I've been recommending AVG to friends and family for years and will continue to endorse them. Plus you will feel that this company actually cares about their mission to keep you safe.

I had a very brief conversation about my RMD. How I wished to receive the money etc. It was a brief interaction but positive and helpful. The young man from Edelman was polite and helpful.

I love all the AVG products I have. I get a little annoyed at VPN with the kill switch cutting off my internet. I chose to uncheck the kill switch because its a pain to deal with. Otherwise, I am enjoying AVG very much.

I feel that my PC is well protected. As soon as I start it up, AVG gets straight to work, indicating if any threats are present and how to deal with them. That is the most important thing for me.

As a retired computer consultant during the era of internet growth, selecting a reliable, trustworthy anti-virus software became essential. I've watched anti-virus programs rise and fall, some becoming a bigger threat than no anti-viral protection at all. With the Advent of AVG and over a decade of useage, I've learned to trust AVG over all the rest. It's the only anti-virus software I recommend to my clients, friends, and family..
