    "WARNING!!! This is as bad as ANY virus!!!"

    July 4, 2012  |   By cpu_guy_13440

    Pros

    I found nothing good about this product. AVG was great 5 years ago, but ABG is now a virus in itself!!!

    Cons

    This program infects your system as badly as any virus. IT WILL NOT UNINSTALL. It invades your cpu and sets up about 10 or more processes that cannot be turned off. THERE IS NO WAY TO UNINSTALL. This junk program bogged down my system with so much garbage it was unbelievable. It took me hours to figure out how to get this VIRUS off my system DO NOT download this piece of garbage!!!

    Summary

    DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS PROGRAM.
