It's almost hard for me to accept them as a "security vendor" at this point. I've requested information from them on a virus definition that was flagged on a PC, as an enterprise customer with a service contract, and they were unable to tell me ANYTHING about the virus definition in question. Not even when they added it to their detection library.

I have yet to cease to be amazed by AVG's lack of knowledge about their own product.

They are basically malware. They take over your browser and search bar, obviously diverting all search queries to them first, so they can have a nice little index to sell.
