Hello Greg,

We will need to check this with our developers team.

Do you remember the law passed by your government? If yes, post us here to escalate it to our concern team for further assistance.

Thank you.

The following link explains it fairly well:
'Outlandish' encryption laws leave Australian tech industry angry and confused - ABC News
The TAN and TCN are particularly worrying and the general fear isnotonly the destruction of our privacy by security and law enforcement without oversight, but also the likelihood that criminalelement will exploit the malware that those organisations will be placing in to the 'wild'. I'dobviously like to know in my AVG products will become compromised.
Thaanks, Greg

Hi,
You may be aware that the incredibly stupid Australian "government" recently passed a bill to compel software & hardware companies to allow our oh so trustworthy security and law enforcement agencies to use backdoor malware to monitor the online activities of Australian citizens. Can you please inform me if this will compromise the security of my AVG products. Thanks.

We are not sure if this bill will compromise AVG.

You need to check the complete report of the bill passed to see if it includes security software.
