    "Horrible Experience."

    April 29, 2012  |   By JE2012

    Pros

    I have no idea.

    Cons

    WON'T WORK PROPERLY. WILL NOT UNINSTALL even after using a separate AVG removal tool!

    Summary

    Bought the boxed paid version. Difficult installation-Horrible instructions and no direct autostart from disk. Had to install with questionable directions. After installed & updated, the product shut down 3 times while online and left me with no firewall! Program said "no components!" and then disappeared. Rebooted. It updated again and changed interface then did the same thing! I even registered the product and received a notice that they even changed my license number...huh?! I finally gave up and uninstalled the product only to find it would not leave my computer! (Windows says that it is still my virus and firewall) Found on the website that I had to install a separate removal tool to get rid of the !#)!&%!& thing.I did that and it IS STILL on my computer. This little box came up and left. Nothing more happened and Windows still thinks it is my antivirus AND firewall! Once this thing is finally off my system-I will never install it again.
