They should tell you better what exactly you get for your money upfront! I purchased this thinking I was getting a good deal, turns out that's not the case! For this app to provide everything most competitors offer in one app with their subscription; AVG requires you download a half dozen separate applications and pay for each service separate. That's insane! I should of stuck with the prior security I was using. AVG appears to work, but it feels like the application just doing a lot nothing.

Hi, AVG AntiVirus is a complete product - an anti-virus app with extra features to ensure your privacy and security. The other AVG products serve different purposes, we inform our users of their availability, but installation is optional and is not related to malware protection. I hope the explanation helps.

Great app which I have been using since I got my phone. Decided to get Ultimate version for the VPN too. Everything works as advertised. Two things are a reason why I gave it four stars. One is the inability to remove the icon from the notification bar. Had to lower the score because now VPN is completely unusable, as it only momentarily connects to US addresses before disconnecting. Have to use separate AVG app for VPN functionality.

AVG is the go to suite of protection, cleaning, and safety solutions for all my devices. Getting the premium subscription is definitely worth it when looking to protect multiple devices of various types. We currently use it on all 3 of the types of OS in our home Windows PC, Android, and iPhone. Easy to use and install, setup for regular auto checks is ready to go and keep everything all tuned up!
