Fed up with being bombarded with extra add on's

General discussion

I have AVG Internet Security, AVG TuneUp, AVG Secure VPN. on a computer I am now being recommended to purchase BreachGuard whatever.
It seems to me that AVG Internet Security and Secure VPN are not up to the job that they are intended for. I have complained in the past about these extras.

Hi Peter,

We're sorry to hear this.
I certainly understand your concern. But these popups are legitimate business campaigns from AVG. To let all our customers know about our AVG products these campaigns were started and it is for all the customers who use AVG. It is for a limited time period and if you are interested to know about those new features then you can click on it or else we do have the option to disable (https://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?l=en&urlname=AVG-Antivirus-popup-notifications) such popups. 
Thank you for understanding in advance.

I also agree totally with Peter Tooke.  I can't wait for my relationship with AVG to end, and I hope I will then stop receiving so many unwanted and unsolicited pop-ups. It also seems that if you buy what you think is protection you then get bombarded by demands and threats thatyou will not beprotected unless you subscribe to another type or higher level of protection.  I mainly use my PC as a large pipe organ and sudden pop-ups in the middle of a performance or recording can be very annoying!

Nisha Sivakumar's reply is an insult, especially the last sentence... 'Thanking you for your understanding in advance'. It is AVG that needs to learn how to listen and understand how we, their customers, feel.  I will soon stop being one.
