AVG Antivirus

Aug 25, 2016 2:28AM PDT

AVG Technologies began in 1991 and is now one of the biggest players in the antivirus software market with corporate offices in Europe, the United Kingdom and the United States. The virus protection software recognizes threats by matching them to a database of known threats. It also defends against spyware and adware in order to protect personal information. AVG Ultimate is a new launched product from AVG. AVG Ultimate is All-in-one antivirus & tuneup for UNLIMITED devices. I have used this product and there are no internet security issues so i suggest you all that you can use AVG Ultimate for your PC, Mac and android.

Not sure why are you are posting this?

Are you affiliated with AVG? or Avast, given your other post here: https://www.cnet.com/forums/discussions/avast-antivirus-software/

Do you have any questions for your fellow members or are simply promoting these AVs? I have no qualms about you creating discussion to discuss products and asking for feedback on their pros and cons, but when they are simply plugs like this--which is straight up copy and paste of about AVG, it is considered an ad and I'm kindly ask you stop posting these.

Maybe a better topic would be: did you know that Avast acquiring AVG?

Thank you.
