I went to my bank today 2/18/15 and was told about a $39.99 deduction frpm my checking account. Since I am very careful to yrack all expences I knew this was not an authorized transaction and told my bank it was not authorized. I was told to try to cpntact the company and resolve the matter.
I contacted AVG through several phone numbers listed as tech support, customer service and then AVG them selves. 877-648-3134 was a number tech support gave me to call. Not a working number. 877-469-8630 tech support told me they couldn't do anything until logged onto a computer. I told them I already tried logging into the 3 year old account that was not renewed because I don't have the computer any longer. I could not long onto the account because there was no longer an account.
The resolution to the problem is to close the account and open a new one. Which means a mess withy pay roll, bills I pay from my account and the waist of the checks I already purchased.
I tried a free trial to test this company out hoping they were legitimate. I had tried a free trial with a different Virus protection site and they put a virus on my computer. Someone referred me to AVG so I figured I would try them out and if I didm't get a virus after the trial I would know they were a good company, I did have windows defender and the other protection that came with my computer but AVG was still able to install AVG Wed Tune-up on my computer and now I cannot remove it...Congress needs to go after internet criminals!
If you ever buy an AVG product they will try to covertly force you to renew their service w/o you knowing it.
They bury the scam in their propaganda that most people don't read - you have to click yes to the agreement if you want the product and this is where they try to force you into renewing their service.
Don't buy AVG - they hung up on my credit card company when we disputed the charge and won't call them back. They are not even in the US - located in the Netherlands and Czech Republic with no address or phone number on their invoice they send you AFTER they charge your credit card. What a sleezy company!
They are a scam company and to be boycotted.
You can get free spy ware and firewalls on the internet. Don't waste your money on this company!
I am disputing all charges and have filed complaints with attorney generals in North Carolina and California. The credit card company told me many elderly people call all confused regarding these type of SCAMS!
It is time we fight back against this type of corporate bullying and fraud!
