I used a different security/antivirus app for years. For some reason after getting a new phone I decided to try AVG antivirus and security along with AVG cleaner and I must say I am very impressed. Two thumbs up and highly recommend. The interface is very intuitive and it has many more features than the one I was used to. The VPN works flawlessly. I think I found my new permanent mobile security app.

Requested a Refund on a purchase I did not intentionally make and they are refusing to help. I have an account that I have had for years and AVG is constantly sending notifications that I need to buy products. I ment to update my current account and ended up opening a new one. They charged me for the same product 2x and are refusing to refund the money. I have told them I have an account already that has the product already. Don't trust this company. I will not renew.

I have had no problems except it keeps on bugging me when I have the ultimate Avast package. I will get it strstraightent then,next thin I know it will happe, again wanting to purchase the Ultimate package again. Not only that, I suppose to have all of their so-call Avast packages and other stuff comes up and says you need to buy the VPV app. I already have them all. About 4 or 5 different services. If I don't find a answer soon I will not be getting another package and look for another one.
