It's... okay. It does work as a free antivirus, I have no complaints about that. It's just that 1. It's a FREE antivirus, they're all at least a bit dodgy. And 2. this app GAVE ITSELF permissions to full access to my device when I specifically went to my settings and denied it, multiple times. I don't want anyone having full access to my data, thank you very much. Please don't do this again.

Hello, our app is not able to give itself permissions. Also, AVG takes privacy and security seriously, adhering to GDPR regulations to ensure your data is handled with the highest standards (https://www.avg.com/en-ww/privacy). You have rights over your data and can contact us anytime to delete or opt out. Hür*AVG

A relatively good security app that I also use on my Windows laptops, though it doesn't detect my VPN and other related security apps, which is troubling and frankly is unacceptable to me. I'm sure it's great if you pay for the whole package, though there are numerous alternatives available that some may offer all of the things on a free app, but for the moment, I'll carry on with AVG, though I'll start looking at alternatives and see how they all compare.

Had the free version which was a headache being filled to the brim with ads. The paid for version is much smoother and works well. I only paid for one device but have others using a different security which at the end of the contract will switch to Avg.. So basically I am happy customer at the moment all is good. I have given 4 star because the cover is less than my present contract but will consider adding more paid for features to level it up
