It appears I paid you for protection although not getting the protection. Please asp let me know what I paid for.

This is fraud and I will be reporting it to consumer report if I don't hear from you.

Good evening... not sure where I should go with this... but I recently signed up for Ave Anti Track Filter. My credit card was charged $60.95 on September 6th. Ever since my computer is not working right... everything takes forever... I am not complaining about your product... but my computer guru friend... (Who I did not talk to first)... says my problem is because I have an old computer and Windows 7... so he removed it and I would like to get a refund if possible.

I will still be interested in the product when I get my new computer and Windows 10 sometime in the near future.

AVG Technologies avg anti viruses

I have emailed to cancel or the AVG subscriptions but have been still charged for them, this is currently getting on for £200, I would like the cancellation with immediate affect with the refund of the money which has been taken.

I am very concerned about the way you are advertising with pop up boxes, having the free trial but when it is cancelled you still take the money.

If this matter is not rectified by the 18th August, I will escalated this Mobile: [protected]

AVG Technologies avg vpn

I telephoned AVG yesterday concerning the fact that my VPN link was just showing 'initialising - please wait' and after waiting several times for several minutes felt i required some help. After speaking to a lady for some time she asked if i would like to speak with the 'tech' team. I am a pensioner and have scant knowledge of most things technical so decided this was best. I had to pay a fee for the service £59-but had no option if I wanted to resolve the problem. You will appreciate that this is a lot of money to someone on a pension. Your team diagnosed the problem to be due to Macafee running in the background and knocking out AVG anti virus. They said they could fix this and commenced. After a total of 3 hrs I rec'd a message saying all was ok and I could continue my work. My desktop icons appeared and I started up my VPN and all was well. I rec'd a phone call from the team and told them all appeared to be sorted. I had to close down to prepare dinner and when I powered my laptop up in the evening - we returned to the 'status quo' in as much as I had the message again 'initialising - please wait' . This continued thru the evening. This morning, reluctant to pay out ANOTHER £59 I decided to try to reload the programme (I always save such information to my archive file) - Surprise surprise! the programme reloaded and now all is working as it should. I feel very aggrieved that the technical team had taken my money and, as it turned out, hadn't in fact resolved the problem. I am also surprised that during my initial conversation with your member of staff - friendly as she was. hadn't suggested a reload of the programme in the first place. I feel that you have taken my money under false pretenses and I and am now very angry the more I think about it.
Yours faithfully
Mavis Watts

But they still got convinced by you that it was, they reversed our complaint and gave you the monies in question... We do not agree because we DID NOT order anything from you... Please show us how you think we owe you any money so that we can close this problem...

AVG Technologies order #[protected]) - maintenance & clean-up

this is not working! I downloaded it according to instructions etc. and am told on everything - maintenance fix & clean, tune-up etc. that i can have the 60-day trial for free; everything else I have to sign up for to pay a certain amount per month.
When I signed up for this orginally I was under the impression that all this would happen automatically at certain times... tune-up, maintenance etc.

I had downloaded it orginally and, as I mentioned, I thought all this would happen automatically. Also, we've been gone for a few weeks so I couldn't keep track of what is happening

Yesterday evening I clicked on the AVG, downloaded it again per instructions, got a new password as it wouldn't take my old one, and saw that nothing had been done, The screen showed up with all sorts of stuff that ought to be done and whatever
I clicked on I got a screen to pay.

AVG Technologies How did DRI*AVG Technologies become Avast and charging me two different amounts on different charge card in the same year??

I received a charge of $79.99 on my Master Card in March 21, 2019 and another charge of 85.59 on my Visa in Jan 3, 2019 for DRI*AVG Technologies. I had Avast Antivirus put on my computer by a comper repair technician 4 years ago. I did sign up with Avast to use the Avast Antivirus another year using my Visa chargecard. I am confused about how Avast became DRI* AVG Technologies and how they got my MC info. and I wonder why I was charged 2 different amounts for the same plan?

AVG Technologies tune up, password protection & internet security

I am sending this as a complaint because I can see no other way of communicating with you on this subject. Your guidelines state this can be addressed via "My Account", but this serves no purpose for what I wish to discuss.

Dear Sirs,

I have recently received two email reminders (Both referring to Order No 9580635610from you notifying two amounts that will be charged to my credit card in the amounts of US$ 19.99 and US$ 79.99. It is not clear to me WHAT SPECIFIC SUBSCRIPTIONS these charges relate.

For your information, I ONLY made ONE PAYMENT on July 14th 2018 to cover my subscriptions last year covering:

Internet Security for US$ 49.99
Tune up for US$ 29.99
Password Protection for US$ 9.99

I am prepared to renew these subscriptions, BUT WHY TWO BILLINGS?

The billing for US$ 79.99 states it covers my Internet Security subscription.
The billing for US$ 19.99 states it covers my Password Protection subscription

So these two billings are already significantly more costly than what was paid last year AND the billings apparently do not include the Tune Up subscription.

Please note I DO NOTE APPROVE YOUR AUTOMATIC CHARGE TO MY CREDIT CARD UNTIL THIS MATTER HAS BEEN CLARIFIED.

Yours sincerely.
