It is lucky she didn't get round to noticing the AVG (Yahoo) toolbar that appears in your browser. You hide it then next time you start up you get a helpful "I have noticed you have disabled the AVG toolbar, I have re-enabled it for you so that your system is fully protected." message.


This was the last straw for me. I've purchased more than 60 licenses of AVG for business computers, after being impressed by how well the free edition of version 6.0 worked on my home computer.

With each subsequent release, they've just added more crap, and gone same way Symantec did. Aside from updating their virus database, I haven't noticed a single useful improvement in years.
