“Famous for Unauthorized Charges”

Giggi W.
8/23/23

I signed up for a free trial from avg. Though I was asked to leave a card during the trial, I was assured my card and profile would be deleted immediately if I decided not to join. I decided at the end of the trial to go with another antivirus company I deleted my profile myself including my card info never giving it another thought. Until I saw 2 separate charges from avg. I contacted them but the girl that apparently handles all their customer service issues absolutely refused to return the charges they made without authorization. She and I went back and forth several days asking them to return my money. She refused every single time. I then reported her to Google Pay. It took them less than 3 days to investigate and reimburse one of the charges. I contacted avg to let them know that they would only be responsible for one charge. Again she refused. She told me to ask Google Play to reimburse the other charge because avg would not pay anything. She was incredibly rude. If this is who avg has for customer service,good luck. You're going to need it.

“Unauthorized Charges”

Terry S.
2/22/24

I agreed to buy their software for 19.99 and it states for 12 month period. They did not specify that was a monthly charge. There is no way to access your account online to cancel, that should tell you something. So its only been 2 months, but I'm pissed. I did not agree to any reoccurring charges. The phone number to cancel this invasion is *******258. Stay away from these people at all cost.

Do not accept any software on a 60 day trial, bad idea. I was suppose a receive a notification at the end of the 60 day trial, instead I was charged $80.55. I called AVG and they wanted to download a program on my system. I did not understand why something has to be loaded on computer to remove this trail my computer. I did not download anything when I accepted the 60 trial in June.

Now I have received an email notifying me that I will be charged additional $80.55. How do I get this canceled? Calling the company is nit much help.

Please do not offer me any more free software.

It's an okay antivirus, however the scanning bogs down your computer a little, Overall though a nice piece of antivirus software for the price.
