A big criticism I have of AVG is there's no way at all for users of the free version to report false positives so they can be corrected.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.100.250.240 (talk) 08:30, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I have had problems with all the versions of AVG I have ever used, including 8.0, thinking the drivers for my wireless keyboard and mouse is a virus. I ended up switching to Avast, because when using AVG, it would quaranteen my drivers, and my keyboard and mouse would stop working.12.152.160.239 (talk) 20:50, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

text: Yes, AVG is notorious for false positives. Apparently, AVG also marks some programs as malware even though they are obviously aren't to scare away the user. For example, I experimented with two keygens. AVG marked them as Trojan horses (Generic5.HMA and Generic5.IUP, respectively), however, after I disabled AVG, ran the keygens, enabled AVG and ran a full scan, I didn't have an infection. It is obvious this was a false positive made on purpose. And this is an example that AVG is programmed to mark it's own keygen as a (non-existent) trojan to prevent it's usage. So in my opinion, AVG is programmed to attack all recognized keygens to prevent people from using pirated software. Crafty.--89.147.67.118 (talk) 18:12, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Advert? 

message: I notice that the "free trial" download offered for every AVG product is the same file (avg75f_431a848.exe, today).  This leads me to speculate that some magic in the license number, once paid for, unlocks the appropriate features for whichever product the user pays for.  If so, this would solve the mystery that prompted me to post the following on newsgroup alt.comp.ant-virus:
AVG "Internet Security" - are all the pieces there yet?
I installed AVG Internet Security 7.5, the 30-day free trial, over AVG Free 
7.1.  I'm looking for a product I can install and forget for a non-technical 
family member, with anti-virus, anti-spy/malware, and a firewall.  The AVG 
Internet Security manual at
http://www.grisoft.cz/softw/70/filedir/doc/AVG_7.5/AVG_Internet%20Security/User_manual/avg_isw_uma_en_75_5.pdf
shows control center selections I do not have, including Anti-Spyware, 
Anti-Spam, and Firewall.
Does the "free trial" of AVG Internet Security 7.5 have limited capabilities 
until I pay for the product?  I don't want to pay until I see what it can 
do.
Or, was the product released before all the parts were integrated?  My 
version seemed to be an early release - although the screen layout is 
slightly different, it still says "AVG Anti-Virus" (not "Internet Security") 
up in the corner.  I can't ask AVG about any of this because I'm not a 
licensed user.  Thanks for any advice.
Anyone here know?  This is something that perhaps should be mentioned in the article if so. --CliffC 19:05, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks; I confirmed that yesterday after paying $100 for three 2-year licenses.  The license number I received unlocked all the "missing" features noted above, and after 24+ hours I am very happy with the product.  I did not contact Grisoft for a trial license number as you suggested, I just figured it would be too much of a hassle.  If the 30-day trial was full-featured it would make for a better trial, but I'm sure Grisoft has considered that freeloaders could take advantage of serial multiple trials for their non-free products.  --CliffC 19:18, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Very interesting. Even though this doesn't have anything to do with the article itself, which is what this talk page is for, I will briefly comment that AVG does not send invoices as requests for payment.  The "invoices" it sends are actually acknowledgements of a receipt of payment.  If you are receiving those receipts and you did not purchase the software yourself, it is likely that an actual purchaser of the software has mis-typed their email address and you are receiving their order confirmation.  You can safely delete the email as the license number that it contains is not intended for you.   As a separate aside, I will note that generally, antivirus/security software does not follow the "more is better" model.   Instead of the three different security systems you brag of, as someone who knows what they are talking about, I suggest you spend some time identifying and testing just one product that you are comfortable with and that can provide the security that you seek.  Your computer will thank you.  Really. Neil916 (Talk) 08:17, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Avast is acquiring AVG? 

message: Calling this controversy seems unfair. It implies a blanket statement suggesting that probably a majority of software and/or websites today contain the "functions of spyware"; including but not limited to: Microsoft Windows, Search Engines- most notably Google with Google Analytics, your Smart Phone and perhaps the majority of software and websites out there today! 
I would argue that it is no exaggeration to say practically -everything- is tracking you today! 
The controversy in question reads:
"In September 2015, AVG announced that it would start tracking users for profit, analyzing their data for sale to the advertising industry. This measure received criticism from consumers, the press and security industry, as many users intended to use the software in order to protect themselves from spyware and would not expect the functions of spyware to be "hidden" in security software.[20]"
This behavior is practiced by practically all website and arguably a majority of software today, with varying degrees. Tracking user behavior is not a "function of spyware", it has become perfectly acceptable practice (even if you don't like it) and there is little reason AVG, much like others, shouldn't be collecting tracking data. In addition - if you think other Security Suites are not collecting tracking data...you got some homework to do.
Also: In AVG's defense (because it should be noted) AVG made this publicly known in a few ways. There was no sneaky implementation of this tracking.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by AdamTheSim (talk • contribs) 08:39, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

 'AVG Internet Security' antivirus firewall etc (redirected)
This page doesn't mention firewall, ransomware. And i'm not sure if the Android version is included in  'AVG AntiVirus' frree or just in 'AVG Internet Security'

thread_title:  AVG AntiVirus and firewall 

message: According to this Wikipedia article, AVG AntiVirus was developed by AVG Technologies, a subsidiary of Avast. Of course, Avast also makes an antivirus software called Avast AntiVirus. So what's the difference between these 2 pieces of antivirus software, which are in effect developed by the same company? Are they the same software, with just different logos and names attached? Do they have the same features, just arranged differently in menus? Or is there some fundamental difference, like one actually being better at detecting viruses than the other?
