★★★★★ Wayne Wilks (Bones) · Dec 19, 2025

Does what it means, keeping phone and me safe, I use it on computer as well.

★★★★★ Shirley Appleton · Aug 21, 2025

I have the free avg virus protection because I can't afford anything else I'm on disability but so far this is awesome protection thanks for an amazing free protection for us who can't afford to pay 😀

★★★★☆ Garry Polishan · Dec 19, 2025

I install the free version of AVG, and it works well for me so far?

★☆☆☆☆ DeepShadowJohn · Aug 21, 2025

Claims to be free, doesn't actually do anything without costing money

★☆☆☆☆ Geoff Townsend · Aug 21, 2025

So now, instead of just stealing data like before, they admit that they make revenue from it. So there is a cookie pop-up. I hate developers who add an Accept All button but omit a Reject All option. It is a practice that preys on the fact that people don't want to manually turn off all the legitimate interests. Under UK GDPR law, I have the right to restrict or stop the processing of my data. I switched off all consent, but I am still having to block tracking data.

★☆☆☆☆ Krys 777 · Oct 20, 2025

I just need help but going through your customer support center is rubbish. Can someone give me an email address to email or can someone contact me. I simply want to update sn easily address and your system just won't allow it. I'm fed up and won't renew in March.

Trust & Safety: The app requests a broad set of permissions typical for security tools (location, storage, accounts, internet access, foreground service, etc.) and uses Accessibility Service API for Web Shield to help protect against phishing. This is common for antivirus apps; users should review the full privacy policy and permission rationale before installation.
