    I was on a free trial for the AVG multi-device protection, but received no notice from AVG when it was about to expire. On Jul 2, 2023, they sent me an email saying that my bank card declined their attempt to process payment for $77.99. Yes, in late June I deactivated my card since it got wet and wasn't working properly, and got a new card. I then emailed AVG on July 2, stating that I did not receive notification from them that my free trial was expiring, and that I changed my bank card, and did NOT authorize them to bill me. In spite of my very clear words, AVG went around my back, and managed to get my new bank card number from a third party online, and processed the transaction, even though I had specifically told them not to. This is devious and unethical. I will never use AVG again.

    Eset, Sophos, F-Secure, Emsisoft just to name a few, which should at least have been included in the AV comparison. Furthermore the ratings are rather subjective. Actual 0-day malware samples being put to the test, the ability to recover after an infection etc.. are a more quantitative measure. Likewise for the percentage of blocked phishing links etc..

    I'm currently looking for antivirus programs so this was a good reference. And though I'm not interested in McAfee, I don't understand why you referred to a report about them that is dated in 2013. I used to use Norton all the time. So, leaning that way. Though BitDefender is also a contender.

    Norton is good but are extremely tricky on Billing. Your Menu will show all sorts of extra stuff with no pricing, it just says FREE TRIAL. Then Norton will deduct double, triple, or more from your Bank Account after the 30 60 or 90 days. Almost impossible to find details and cancel those 'extras'. Don't even think about getting them on the Phone or getting your money back. Think about that before you click on anything.....

    Another sales channel. have a look at which affiliate links pay the most and you will see why those products are Top rated by all the affiliates!
    It seems all the VPN affiliates are branching out to antivirus now as companies are offering more money for each sale they get.
    You can not trust reviews or recommendations that are only based on how much a person will make - if you watch all the other affiliate advertising channels you will see they have different deals and all say different things. The products are not reviewed on any technical basis or if tests were run, they would all give the same results.

    1. U have a code for Norton, that makes u money. So naturaly u speak about Norton first+rate it the highest. Norton! Hehe, lets keep encrypting: u dont bother to find out how to say Kaspersky, instead say "Kasper Sky". Kaspersky is not a slavic name, but its a word made from 2 English words: "Casper", they chose a "K" though for... reasons. And "Sky". Its from Russia, surely its pronounced "Casper Sky". ✅️ But be careful, "Casper Sky" was rated a 10/10. It was never in the news for links to any gov (unlike US software and Hardware (Intel *cough*)). But8 "be cArEfUl, RU ties, trust me bro". So a perfect rating + VPN reasons (are u testing AVs, or VPNs?), I rank it behind NORTON😂.
