Im very disappointed that I cannot seem to access Google Mail or Maps wihout having to use the VPN. When I have the VPN on, over time, it slowly decreases my bandwith. To tthe point I tested using fast.com and was getting 10 MBPS download. I immediately disconnected and my bandwith was back to 370 mbps.

A shadow of the Antivirus software I knew when I was young, bloated with advertisements and constant popups demanding your attention. It's free, and that's the best thing I can say about it. I won't subscribe to any of their services, I won't pay for it simply because it always demands more, more, more, as opposed to the simple, free, useful software I used to recommend customers. Give me a way to turn all the constant demands for paid services off easily, and I might bump this up to 2.

In my experience you keep getting notices that you need to renew even if you just renewed.

In my experience I keep getting emails saying I need to sign up. So I stupidly do so, only to find out later that I had already signed up and had two accounts for the same year. I contact y'all and I still have to renew because even though I only used it on one device it's just too bad. The anti trac I wanted it canceled and refunded but couldn't find anywhere I could request a refund so the best I could do is shut off automatic payments. So, no I use to recommend you to everyone, but I will not do that any more. My husband switched and I stayed loyal, but I'm thinking I may just get on his.

kind of sick of the hard sales pitch

I'm getting kind of sick of the hard sales pitch critical warnings. I've subscribed to a handful of AVG products, yet I'm at critical risk? Doesn't project a very positive view of this company. The messages are intrusive and not very helpfully written; in fact they sound like a politician trying to influence action without having proof of WMDs. STOP IT.
