Review by COLORADO HERMIT

I’ve used this AVG this year to replace the Norton that I have used for the last several years. The Norton let me down when it let several email virus’s &/or Trojans get into my mail and start sending themselves out to everybody in my address book. This has made everybody in my address book very mad at me!nnThere was one thing that the Norton has over the AVG and that’s the identity storage. This made it really easy for storing my user name and passwords for all the important sites that I used. Like my bank, the bill paying sites, and the suppliers that I use for my wood working and pen turning supplies. The bad part of that was that I quit backing up my most used passwords on a separate text file. Now that my Norton has expired, even though I did save a backup copy of my identity files, I can no longer access my passwords! The back up file is in a .NPM format that I cant find a reader for or any way to convert it to something I can open. It would be nice if the AVG had a compatible part of its program or similar function.

As for the installation of the AVG, it went very smooth with no problems at all. I was able to install the AVG before removing the Norton so that there wasn’t a gap in my protection. The update and first scan went very smooth and the whole thing took less than an hour. As for how good the AVG protection is I will have to come back in a few months and update this to let you know. But for now I’m very pleased with it.
