Product Description

More than 80 million computer users around the world go online safely, thanks to AVG. You didn’t buy your PC to worry about security. That’s why we’ve designed our software so you can work, play, surf, and chat online while we take care of keeping you safe. We’re so quiet and efficient, you won’t even know we’re there. But you can rest assured that we are. AVG’s unique LinkScanner is the only technology to check websites and search results at the only time that matters – when you’re about to click that link. AVG’s new scanning system only scans files changed since the last scan, so it won’t slow down your surfing, downloading, and on-line chatting. Here’s what we’re doing behind the scenes to keep you and your PC out of trouble. While you’re surfing and searching the web, LinkScanner SurfShield ensures every website you visit is safe – even before you go there. LinkScanner SearchShield gives safety ratings to all your Google, MSN and Yahoo search results. LIVE Research checks to make sure web pages really are what they appear to be. While you’re emailing, IMing or on your social networks, WebShield lets you download and exchange files without risking virus infections. Email Scanner keeps viruses, phishers, and scammers out of your inbox. Whether you’re online or offline, Anti-Virus makes sure you can’t get or spread an infection. Anti-Spyware keeps your passwords and other personal information private. Anti-Rootkit

1.0 out of 5 stars I can See why they have to Give their Software away for Free!, April 13, 2010

Of course AVG is known for their free software anti-virus people can download. This software however must be paid for. At $40 it is no bargain either. One could buy from companies like Norton, McAfee, or Trend Micro for less. These are all established players in the anti-virus game unlike AVG--which is known as the free anti-virus company.
I had a problem with the install of my product and the support was frankly a joke. It said I could pay for support, for my brand-new program. Thanks AVG for throwing me under the bus. Pay for support for your product which is brand new? I could buy a legitimate product from any of the known companies above and have free support which doesn't consist of playing email tag with someone from India.
This thing is going right back for a return. I am going back with Trend Micro where I get free support and get to speak with a live human being. Until AVG gets real customer support it will only be good for free software downwloads! The safest thing you can do is not buy this software.

I have ordered this product from you, but there was no sticker on the envelope with the license number so i could use this product. How am i supposed to use this product with no license number?? Not happy with this product.

I had to contact the seller for a refund and got one easily.

I couldn't get this to work.

Heck, you can get a FREE version through cnet.com so don't waste your money on this stuff anyway. I've got a FREE version and it works fantastic.
