    Better than most PC anti-virus software out now. Could be better, but could be a lot worse. Great if you are on a budget.

    AVG antivirus

    Ok, so I got into using computers late, probably around 2004, maybe 2003, I can't remember. But when I did start up in computers, AVG was a free antivirus that you could download whenever you wanted. AVG had serious resource hogging issues back then. Skip ahead to 2017 and now you pay for it... It was nostalgia buying this product, ok, lol onto the product. First off, lets start with support. You have to register with the company to install the software which is good, that means they do have some sort of customer service you can contact. As far as the antivirus itself, its not as much a resource hog as windows 10, if you know what I mean. It works a lot better than windows defender when it comes to slowing down your pc so you can't use it... Ive already installed it, uninstalled it, reinstalled it, etc, with no problems. This was an ok buy.

    I had the 2 year subscription of this software before I bought this one and it was good. I am disappointed that there is not firewall protection in this package and a little surprised. The program says that you have to upgrade to active the firewall protection. Overall not a bad program when you want basic anti-virus protection.

    We have had AVG anti-virus protection in the past, but it was installed through my husbands workplace. We purchased it on our own for the first time. It was easy to install, and easy to use. Not much difference from the AVG business edition we had before. We are pleased with the performance of this product.

    I tried a different brand for awhile because a free trial came with my laptop. I like AVG much better It runs more in the background th an the other one I used. No annoying pop ups all the time. .

    We have had issues in the past ordering online and being charged with foreign currency fee. Our credit card wouldn't charge us the fee this time, but the AVG site was forcing us to a two year subscription for their highest tier of coverage. Much simpler to drive down to Best Buy and purchase it.

    Installation was easy. Great buy to protect 3 computers. Suggest not to automatically run upon start up as it does slow down launching access to programs while running.

    I would only make one change to the AVG Antivirus Program and that would make the program inclusive : antivirus, tuneup, drivers, firewall and any other problems that I am not aware of. I do not want to buy 20 programs to protect our computers, please make 1 program that takes care of all the computer needs. Then if there's a problem AVG already has a program in the computer for resolution. Sincerely, Deborah
