Works but.....,
By
This review is from: Grisoft AVG Internet Security 3-User 2-Year Family Edition [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)
Product appears to work well in terms of protecting your PC. But there appears to be some not so user friendly aspects:
* Package says 3 - user but I have been unable to load it on a second PC * As for any support, you need a code to access the support and the code I entered does not work, making it impossible to get support.

AVG good, but so far serious lack of tech support,

This review is from: Grisoft AVG Internet Security 3-User 2-Year Family Edition [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)
I purchased AVG Internet Security after trying the free version and testing another anti-virus program. I find AVG easy to set up and use, and generally I like the interface. The reason for my not-so-glowing review is twofold:
1) I have the program set up so it scans web pages for 'bad stuff.' The problem is that on a Google search page, it has to scan all the linked pages the search found and this take a bit of time. 2) More serious is the fact that I've used their tech support online form almost a dozen times in the last three weeks to get some simple questions answered (including how to deal with the issue above), and they have never contacted me. More frustrating is the fact that the web site has no phone or email contacts that you can easily find. I finally sent a nasty email to someone there, but if this serious lack of support continues, I'll look for another anti-virus program when its time to renew. David

FINALLY! A SECURITY SUITE THAT DELIVERS!,
By
This review is from: Grisoft AVG Internet Security 3-User 2-Year Family Edition [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)
I have been through the lot! THIS IS THE BEST COMPREHENSIVE SECURITY SUITE I EVER HAD! And I had them all...(well, almost)
For years I sweared by NORTON - until two years ago it got so heavy and demanding it slowed my computer to a crawl. Then I gave McAFEE Internet Security a try which, although lighter, pestered me with pop-up messages. When that license expired I gave KASPERSKY Internet Security a try: real secure feeling and detailed settings control; however, a number of internet applications, although given full internet access, were slowed to a trickle. About a month ago I downloaded the AVG INTERNET SECURITY as a 30-day trial. Not two weeks had passed and I decided that THIS IS THE ONE! Light, heuristically effective (it even found a malware that KASPESKY failed to locate - and KASPERSKY has the best reputation on cleaning out everything!), no conflicts, email integration (although not with ThunderBird yet, a minor glitch), excellent AI and quiet. It may seem a bit pricey, yet keep in mind that it comes with a 2 YEAR license, not the usual 12 months that most other Security applications come with. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! UPDATE [April 26, 2008]: AVG offered the FREE option to upgrade to v8.0 for the remainder of the license to every customer that had bought v7.5. Now, THIS is a company that knows how to built customer loyalty!
