Hello and welcome to my post where i express my feelings towards the AVG Software :)
I have been using AVG for a few years now, every computer that i have repaired and/or formatted in my workshop for a few years back too (few hundreds), but that has now come to an end.
I cannot explain to you guys in words of how pissed i am right now!
Explenation of why i am pissed:
It started with i needed to expand my networks shared drive space (other words: add a drive in Windows Network Folder Sharing), and i could not for the love og god find out why computers could not join Homegroups created on the computer or even access the shares created on the smae computer, with one exception, if the hosting computer would access the client computer shared folder first, then the client that was connected to could join the hosts shared folders.
I tried disabling AVG and Windows Firewall, I uninstalled a crapload of programs, went through ALL services running, moved my apache server, removed media servers. I tried everything, i was about to re-install my operating system.
I have been googling this for about 2 days now, and the issue itself has been occuring for about 4 days.
And about 10 minutes before i started writing this post, i actually found a solution to my networking problems, the source, is a very common source for problems on Windows that cannot be explained.
How i solved my issue?
A simple uninstall of AVG.
I googled about how this can be, and where ever i looked, i kept seeing how other people, like me, expressed their feelings about how bad this software is.
I must also say, that now that i have installed another software (which remains un-mentioned) i have alsoe found several threats on my computer, including one-rootkit.
Which now brings me to the conclusion:
Shame on you! I trusted you!
Now i hope you can learn from my experience and fix it, but i will NEVER return to you.
Have a nice day!
