I can hardly believe how quickly they turned supurb into junk.Basic antivirus and antispyware protection for Windows available to download for free. I did a fresh Windows installation and still found the product to be useless for me. Considering that I found the product to be unusable following the upgrade to the AVG version while the Ewido version had run without the slightest hitch and considering that support from them simply doesn't exist for me I think a 1 star might be warranted but I'll be generous and give 2. AVG support, even for a person with a paid license (OK, paid for the Ewido version and they took over the license)their support was zero.I tried repeatedly to contact them with no reply of any kind forthcoming.
I contacted the AVG support staff.or should I say I tried to do so. I've had instability issues with the programme and found that it frequently locks up on 100% CPU usage. While I've been a user and a paid subscriber of the Ewido version of this product for some time, and loved that (I would have rated that 5), following the AVG takeover nothing has gone well. In the case of AVG Anti-Spyware the resident scanner is something of a no-go (at least in my case) and thus I think I'll stick to running regular weekly scans via the FREE Ewido online scanner (which coincidentally uses the same excellent AS engine) at least until v8.0 rears it's head (hopefully they'll have fixed the resident scanner by then). To my mind the only real benefit of installing anti-spyware software is in its resident scanner. the resource requirements of the resident scanner I have had to forcibly end scans (again killing processes via the Task Manager) on more than one occasion. Again the on-access/scheduled scanner is a bit of a resource hog.I often find my CPU usage plateaux at 90-100% whenever I choose to ACTUALLY browse the internet (the culprit being guard.exe). While offering an impressive feature set the resident scanner is a bit of a resource hog.While efficient and attractive the graphical user interface frequently freezes forcing the user to kill all associated processes (avgas.exe and guard.exe) via the Task Manager.Unfortunately the same cannot be said of AVG Anti-Spyware as a whole. The AVG/Ewido anti-spyware engine is as ever excellent.
