AVG is clearly circling the drain at this point and doing anything and everything to squeeze out as much revenue as possible before the music stops. Another example is AVG Secure Search, which is effectively malware snuck in with AVG installs. I recently spent a good many hours trying to get it off of my wife's computer, since it doesn't have an uninstaller and the removal tool they provide on their website doesn't work (or at least didn't on her machine). In fact, in researching the issue I came across multiple cases where it not only didn't work, it also deleted people's bookmarks. The program also appears to use common malware techniques to prevent manual removal. And of course, this kind of thing has been going on for years, and the company gives no impression of caring. It really seems like they're now using their experience with malware to... create malware.
