Automatic Maintenance will keep your computer running smoothlySure, AVG has it’s down sides, but do they really matter to you?
Many people think that AVG is an inadequate software. Customers have reported the following as reasons why they think this.
” AVG has to many pop-ups ”
” AVG is crashing all the time ”
” AVG misses viruses on my computer ”
So, are these people right? Should you avoid AVG because of these reasons ?
We don’t think any of these reasons are good enough to warrant avoiding AVG as an option for your security needs.
Pop-ups are unavoidable, all security software has pop-ups, and besides, do you really want a security software that doesn’t notify you if a virus has been removed?
AVG can crash yes, so can Norton security, Trend Micro and Bitdefender. Even Windows crashes from time to time, but do you avoid using Windows because of a crash?
There is a myth in the Internet Security world that AVG is not as smart as other products when it comes to detecting viruses and threats on your device. This is simply just not true. AVG has performed extremely well in our tests for detecting threats and stacks up just as well as many of the leading brands.
It’s official… AVG ROCKS!
The simple fact is that AVG Ultimate is the only product out there that offers unlimited devices.
Right now you can Get 20% off on the all-in-one, best-in-class AVG antivirus & tuneup combo. you are really getting some great value. The average household has 10 devices, including PC’s , Laptops, Phones and tablets. Some households will have even more than 10! So if we look at it this way, if you protect all devices with AVG Ultimate then you are really paying just $9 per year per device, now that is good value!

Hey there! Thanks for this well written and well-researched review. Personally, I use AVG as well and am pretty happy with it. I like that the free version already offers good protection!
One thing I usually advise to be careful about are the free “offers” that many of those installers come with. I’m not sure if AVG had something like that, but I usually chose the custom installation and uninstall any “search bars”, “browser add-ins” or other modifications to my system, outside the core antivirus functionality.
What is your take here?
All the best,
chris
Hi Chris, Thanks for your comments on my AVG Ultimate review! The free version really does offer a good baseline for protection. One thing we love about the AVG Ultimate is the unlimited device licenses, I have about 25 devices in my home all covered under the one license which is awesome!
Completely agree with you on the ‘add-ons’ that some of the free Antivirus programs offer. Certainly need to be aware of these when installing a free Antivirus.
Although I do accept that Free Antivirus is acceptable in some circumstances I really think that security software is a ‘you get what you pay for’ type of product.
My absolute favorite pick for Antivirus / Internet security at the moment is Webroot Internet Security Complete – the cloud based product is awesome and doesn’t slow down your PC at all! I have done a full review here if you want to check it out!

I used AVG many years ago (not the Ultimate Edition) but didn’t find it very effective (it was the free version). It missed detecting threats that other anti-virus/anti-malware software I was trying out at the time did find.
I tried Norton AntiVirus too until it detected itself as malware and suggested I delete it. I did and haven’t used a copy since.
McAfee I never liked. It just felt like there wasn’t much under the hood.
Avira was great for a while. Then whoever owned the company started “tweaking” it and it went down the tubes in performance. Another one for the bin.
No internet security product is perfect and while the one you use may be great for a while, the ever-changing security landscape mean that a once great tool will always remain great.
When it comes to annual renewal time, I check around to see the current state of the most popular security tools and how they’re ratedin reviews and such and buy the one that looks the most up-to-date and and has the best reputation. I don’t think there’s any point in sticking with a brand because you’ve always used their products.
Hi Gary, Thanks for stopping by! Sounds like you have had some good and bad experiences with a range of security software! As you would have read in the AVG Ultimate review, the product still provides good protection for your devices, and with an unlimited amount of device licenses you can be sure that all of your devices are secure! If you are due for a security software update be sure to read through our Top 10 Internet Security for 2018 it covers all of the top brands and gives the pro’s and con’s of each.
As always, please feel free to contact me should you need any help choosing Security Software and Solutions.

Thanks, Dan. The unlimited license that you get with AVG Ultimate is a big thing in its favor. Too many of the security software tools these days are too restrictive on how many places you can install them, unless you hand over more cash, of course. 🙂
Hi Gary, Yes agree totally, some products don’t want you installing their product on more than a handful of devices! I actually have a review being published on the site this week about a new product that offers a new, dynamic way of licensing. I think you would find it very interesting. Gary, would you mind if I added you to my newsletter list? I think you would find the news very interesting.
