    "Don't Install - Won't Unistall - Problem"

    July 24, 2012  |   By jakatye

    Pros

    Ignorance upon free version download of uninstall capabilities

    Cons

    Can't get rid off it when you don't wish to purchase after trial or free version is installed. It ends up everywhere in your computer and is very difficult to remove especially if you run a 32 microsoft 7 version saving files to program files as well as program files x86.

    Summary

    I see this as a violation in some fashion as you will have great difficulties uninstalling the trial/free version of AVG from your computer. Then when you go to install alternative virus/malware software removers......it will prompt you to remove AVG first...which as I said is a huge undertaking if you are not computer saavy! Malwarebytes and ESET are no different by-the-way. Better to buy a legitimate software as oppose to downloading free ones. Take it from personal experience...it is not worth the troble this software will bring you! Costed me close to $200.00 to have a professional remove all files in my computer associated to this AVG program!
