Really regretting upgrading to Ultimate. Can't log in to the account on any device. Worked perfectly as Free and then Premium. Tech Support lost me mid chat. Concerned as to how this will be resolved. I've tried everything. It's now May and I still can't access the account. It's now July and I'm still unable to access my AVG account via the app!!! Hopeless! I can't set certain things up until I can access the account.

Good product but... I hate the adverts for other AVG products mascarading as critical security alerts. I wish I could disable them but haven't found a way to do it. I hate that when looking at an app on the play store I get an intrusive alert at the bottom of the screen telling me it's safe. Alerts are supposed to be for problems, not to tell me there isn't any issues. I wish I could disable that message. (Not the check by AVG but the pointless green/ok there are no-issues alert message).

Hi Hughes, thanks for your feedback. You can manage notification types via Account > Settings > Notifications. The free version includes ads, which can be removed by upgrading to Pro. If the green safety alert remains after adjusting notifications, please contact support.avg.com. *AVG

for the price, AVG Anti-Virus is really good. with the subscription it allows you to connect your VPN to the fastest location near you, it constantly scans for malware files, apps, calls, texts and keeps you safe when you are browsing or connecting to public WiFi network which can be scary. I would absolutely recommend this app and subscription to others who are always using their devices for mostly everything in their daily life, weather it be work,study or gaming. I have the premium sub.
