As I work for AVG (technical support), I was wondering what are your views of the program?

I will not share anything, as I already have my views based on internal information, I just want to know what people think.

Also, has anyone written to help support ?

AVG like uses 100% of my CPU when i scan -cry

my norton never used to do that

It performs illegal operations at random intervals during system scanning.

But that doesn't even matter at the moment 'cos my computer is fucked.

aside from the current missing .bin file, that is affecting everyone it's good.

At least I can manually update from the website.

I like AVG, I just have my doubts that you work there.

Well I am at work right now (night shift) , and everything here I can show you to prove is internal.

Tomorrow, I can post a picture of my certificate, as it is not with me at the time. :)


Theres no reason to doubt he works there

i like it, but it takes like an hour and a half to finish. and eats up my CPU usage so everything else i'm doing runs slower

I heard AVG was using customer's PCs to scan websites, and it was really starting to take a toll on certain web servers...although that doesn't really matter to me, as I'm not a webadmin, and I use Avast, instead...

I have it,  it dosen't take ages to load or update. But being free. I have to doubt that it actually does the job.

I have AVG Pro for my Virtualised Windows XP machine, and it's good. I like it, but the interface is quite cluttered. It's sometimes hard to find what I want in the menuing system and there're so many parts to it. One single unified window would be nice :).

Also the update downloads are annoying with the stupid Window, it'd be nice if it just did it in the background without it popping up and telling me. Since I use it on a virtualised machine, it will auto-update anytime I start up and that can be annoying seeing the window all the time.

It's alright. I never got a sense of true security out of it, though. Always felt like the program was half-ass. I prefer Zone Alarm Security Suite.

AVG has to be my favorite anti-virus programme. it's the least annoying out of all of them
