AVG Antivirus and Security app is a good choice when considering free versions of Android protection. after a scan of your device and viewing the results, a short add auto plays that's non intrusive and can be totally ignored as you are not held captive like so many other app that have a add based version. over the years, I have grown to trust AVG as they have remained consistent with its product mission, unlike my past experiences with Avast, Norton, McAfee ect . more to critique but out of wor

I am so disappointed in this app for my android phone. it literally takes a couple minutes of waiting to open a website, and some of them just time out, even though all permissions are a yes and the settings are all open. For example, the Libby app Will only open if I turn AVG off. That is one I use daily. I'm sorry I paid for a whole year. I will definitely. not renew and may even Uninstal it.

Rated poorly due to lack of easy voice access to support channels. Expensive and confusing to use. Lots of features are unsold with offer. Customer voice support is very hard to contact. I was double charged for features that operated simultaneously. Also I was charged for technical support that was not complete and I could not debate the charge. Also, the control panel does not display full-screen, blockung some interaction.
