AVG Online Security by AVG Technologies

Rated 1 out of 5
by michael242, 4 years agoI've been a very loyal user of Mozilla Firefox forever. No more. Today, no matter what website I tried to go to I was instead redirected immediatley to:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/avg-online-security/?src=external-app-newtab-store
I (like most) do not even use AVG at all. It's garbage, and as everybody knows and essentially spyware. The constant popup windows from AVG and it's constant need to force/push it's own updates (and if you snoop it, you can see it constantly sends data backs to Avast's servers even though you try to prevent it in-app), renders it simply spyware posing as "security" software. Avast has been proven to spy on those that use AVG and even sell their web brownsing data. There is currently a case file open on them from the FBI. I personally know a high ranking federal prosecutor, and have also filed a formal complaint against both Avast, and sadly now, Mozilla, for allowing this constant redirect to download and addon from AVG.
Obnoxious, Mozilla and Avast. You deserve what you get for doing this.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15810750, a year agoDropping support for such a BS reason. Guess I might as well get rid of AVG altogether if this is the kind of treatment Im going to expect.
- Rated 1 out of 5by SyrslyTTV, a year agoDoesn't protect as much as NoScript does and is kind of invasive. AVG is also dropping support for this extension, stating the reason as Firefox not being popular enough.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Tomajjs, a year agoThe extension would deserve even 5 stars but AVG discontinued this extension. I value that they inform you about that when you open your Firefox but they won't let you use the extension anymore. It uninstalls automatically. The reasons they mentioned for doing such a unexpected step were very stupid and dumb (the reasons were really, really that bad). Very bad take AVG and couldn't even think of good reasons.
