I wonder how many people come across this thread but see it as too much hassle to make an AVG account and complain.
Anyway i was happy to go through the hassle as by using using AVG regularly i am well used to dealing with Hassle. Crazy amount of pop-ups (Pop-Ups about ads but mostly about websites its blocked (URL:MAL)). I would rather contract an actual virus like hepatitis rather than continue using AVG.
Some great free software out there that i feel rivals AVG.
Going to disable it now and use the Panda alternative suggested above.
You twerps are unbelievable! Yet another pop-up that blocks a chunk of screen and cannot be closed except by going into task manager and killing it. By what right do you take over my machine in this way? It ought to be illegal. You don't seriously expect to gain customers like this or keep existing users?
I just uninstalled AVG. Never again! And I certainly wouldn't encourage anyone else.
Hello Marc,
We apologize for the inconvenience caused. Please provide a screen-shot (http://avgclick.me/getscreenshot) of the pop-up for us to identify the issue. Have you installed any AVG program other than AVG Free? Have you installed any trial version of AVG program? Thank you.
I too am getting so sick of these continual pop-ups and am looking around for something else after what seems like a lifetime of using AVG. The latest batch cannot even be closed by clicking on the "X" in the corner of the box like a well behaved pop-up (not that it would make them any more acceptable if they did). I have to close them by right-clicking their icon on the task bar (not systray) and selecting close window.
I guess we have to thank our lucky stars that AVG hasn't repeated the obnoxious pop-up of last year which could only be closed from task manager.
This isn't worth my time … clock's ticking AVG.

AVG was the best free Antivirus for me for a fe years, I even told all my friends and family to buy it or use the free edition. I made them all switch to AVG, ang now I feel like an idiot. Since a few months AVG spams me more and more with now tadays adds and popups I cant deactivate. Give option to deactivate these adds or I will need to switch to another antivirus. This is the worst add popup spam I have ever seen with any antivirus software now.
