    "No longer the best free app"

    March 23, 2012  |   By D4ed4lus

    Pros

    Claims to Find loads of adware and viruses
    stops your windows from throwing up "No virus protection" and firewall errors

    Cons

    Finds an oddly amount of "Adware" every single scan,seems like it wants to make itself look busy

    Don't really scan every single folder

    Hello D4ed4lus,

    Could you please discuss both situations (missing protection and firewall errors) with us at CNET AVG Forum or AVG Forums?

    Else it looks like you have became victim of fake (rogue) anti-virus pretending to be AVG product.

    Thank you
