I need my phone unlocked. I brought it to Malta from UK, changed sim to Maltese. Now AVG has locked it and wont recognise my password. What is worse is that it cannot locate it. I thought that was the idea, to be able to locate a 'turned off' phone. I'm not impressed with AVG and once my phone is fixed I will close all my AVG accounts because of the inconvenience.
