I bought this product after reading about AVG and its glowing reviews. However, I had a problem with the install on my second computer. The firewall simply would not install. I tried the online fixes at AVG’s Website but none of them worked.
I had to email “customer support,” since apparently AVG is too cheap to provide a phone number. Someone named Lakshmi, I am sure from India, emailed me back but his fix did not work.
I would recommend Trend Micro over this want-to-be anti-virus. Trend has toll-free technical support and you get to speak with a live body, instead of being hung out to dry with second-rate support from India!

The only time I will have something negative to say is when my computer gets infected.
This is a great alternative to the overpriced BIG NAME anti virus products.
Recomended.

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.

AVG 2010 was reviewed by many different sources and later found to be one of the most comprehensive and easy to use utility softwares available. I purchased in May of 2010 after Norton let me down with a trojan associated with the Adobe program in January of 2010, and they failed to aid me in support. Not that they didn’t try, but their services were offered to me on a paid basis to aid in recovery. I use Win 7 Ultimate and after install I haven’t had any problems. Some of the other users report difficulty in setting up a firewall on their system, after using it myself I would have to question their level of knowledge in computers at all… as for the cracks about the India support, truthfully Microsoft has many of their offices setup there, along with Iraq, Afghanistan, etc so Where the support comes from really isn’t that much of an issue but whether or not they can help at all.
