The one good thing about AVG is it's compatiable with XP64 professional and other 64 bit operating systems.

Of course, I'm really happy with my AVG purchase, but I thought I was buying 2 years (24 months) of protection. However, it turns out I only have protection until September 2010. Since I bought this in April, that means I will have to renew my protection in only 17 months, instead of 24. That was a little disappointing to me.

Not as good as advertised May 3, 2009

Grisoft AVG Internet Security - 2 Year Subscription

They advertise that it is quick and doesn't slow down your computer. The updates are fine, but if you follow their recommendation to run it every 4 hours, you will find that your computer will slow way down. Further, on a computer that doesn't have much on it, the scan takes 2.5 hours each time, meaning that your computer is constantly being slowed down. It has caused my computer to 'freeze', not only when surfing the Internet but also when trying to do something locally.

I would not buy this product again unless AVG finds a way to speed up the scans and only scans programs that have been accessed since the last scan, minimizing the opportunity for the computer to slow down.

Try their free download first and then run your computer while the scan is happening and when it is not, doing the same tasks (your normal functions) before buying.

The truth about the new release 8.5 Internet Security April 16, 2009
Marshall C Wagner (Florida)
5 out of 8 found this review helpful

I am reviewing this product because it is worthless. If I could give it no stars, I would.

I had been using the free edition of AVG Antivirus for years and thought that the new 8.5 Internet Security would be even better with the addition of several more components and it also includes ID theft protection. This has been the biggest mistake of my life.

I downloaded the software 3 times and each time I installed it different problems occurred. The biggest problem was on reboot. There were error messages that indicated dll's were missing. In addition, several of the antivirus components would be missing, making the product unusable. It slowed my PC down to a crawl. I paid $65.94 for the software and disk through PAY-PAL.

Finally, I had to call the AVG outsourced maintenance support company named (Support.Com). Actually, this is a very good support company, which offers support for many other products including AVG's. They tried for 5 hours to fix the problem and finally advised it just would not work. In fact, they normally charge for their support but had to refund my money because they could not fix the product. They further advised that the company(AVG)kept updating the software trying to fix the holes in it and they (Support.Com) could not keep up the builds being sent out to the field. The tech advised me that he has seen similiar problems as least 4 times during the week I called but my problems were producing additional wrinkles.

AVG is in the process of refunding my money. However, I do not want others to have to go through this mess. This product has cost me hours of work to restore my computer, which was functioning perfectly before I installed the new software. By the way, the new software installed over the old so I ended up with nothing after by bout with the support group.

I located new antivirus software by Microsoft called (Windows Live One Care). I installed it on a 90-day trial. As you can see, I learned my lesson. The message here is do not; I repeat do not install anyone's software unless you get it on a trial basis. The steps I have had to go through to get my money back has been nothing short of hell. You would have thought I created the problem. I actually give this product 00000 stars because it does not work.
