I also hate the "Ads for paid product"

Disable AVG product protection, then go to Program Files -> AVG folder, and delete the folder named "banner". Enable AVG product protection. You won't see the ads anymore.

You mean AVG is giving you ads in the paid product? Thats not right IMO. I spoke too soon so, you can disable ads in the paid product after all?

Blame Avast, it screwed up my video with popup window, and i had to do all over again

AVG scores quite good in tests, but it's something strange that almost the 90% of the infected PCs i've ever seen was "protected" by AVG...

Maybe it's just the most used AV... maybe not...

Thanks for testing

I like AVG. It's so light on system. For normal user it's good option. But if you play with lots of Zero Day Malware then it's not good.

I used to be a fan of AVG. I like the whole behavior of the program, the way that alerts are showing, the colors of the UI,the system response with AVG....but it seems AVG is going down since 2013.Most of the reviews i have seen was showing a mediocre result.
I always keep my eyes on AVG. If someday the detection rate/Identity protection will be improved more, then i will be the first to install it immediately
