extensions do not seem to enable!!!

Oded Szpiro, 2025-05-13

AVG has been my virus protection for years and cannot fault it. The pop up windows are annoying as they appear just off the edge of my viewing field and are fiddly to close. I think it is reasonably priced, and an excellent product but the ads selling you other AVG products are a pain.
