New Update Re-visit to AVG in 2025

[Nautilus]

I wanted to thank @nickstar1 for his generosity and helping other MT out with his private " mini giveway "

Norton bought Avast so technically they run differently, i don't do highly illegal activities so i don't really need to cover my tracks from government but hackers. I feel like Norton wouldn't allow avast staff (former to tarnish it's reputation) I feel like the Norton buy out was a way for Avast to fully rescue itself. AVG is the only product from Gen digital i use due it's no ADS and clear cut GUI.

meanwhile, I just uninstalled & canceled Norton subscription for one of my VM. Doubt I will use any Gen digital av in foreseeable future. just me.

Norton is now completely bloatware. Not to mention the interface and annoying popups that are completely like fake antiviruses. I used AVG for 8 years , I think it was just before bought from Avast, I'm thinking of trying it when my Eset license ends.

Is AVG any different from Avast nowadays? Seems to me it is just a skin, the product is exactly the same.

Ps: I like Avast/AVG, I am using it right now on my gaming notebook.

It has less advertisements and is less annoying in the way it’s presented.

Look for the envelope icon at the top of the forum banner next to your profile picture. You may start a conversation by clicking on it.

No antivirus is perfect

That is what I said. Nothing more. Nothing less.

"Any security software works - - until it doesn't."

I have not used AVG in decades. Back in the days when I was a wee tot. It was all magic to me.

I don't care what people think or use. It is their prerogative. They are also accountable and responsible for their choices, decisions and behaviors to make their digital devices secure or insecure - which is far more important than what security software that they choose.

Security is not software. It is a process.

Well, that's not exactly what you said initially. You specifically wrote about AVG

Security is not software. It is a process.

you are absolutely right about that

I can see you're frustrated, likely due to a past issue; however, implying AVG is ineffective perhaps because of your experience is definitely unwarranted. No antivirus is perfect – I've had threats slip past top-rated programs like Bitdefender, Vipre, AVG, Kaspersky, eScan, and McAfee.

Yet, I still trust them. AVG consistently scores well in independent tests and usually achieves top scores, suggesting there's more to your experience than just the software's failure.

Why would you have trust in anything that based on your own empirical evidence you know doesn't work? I don't trust AV's, they are a help but that as far as it goes, I think.
