Отличная вещь. Жаль только что последние две рекламы не отключает, Amazon и Xandr. Да и сам антивирус хороший от этой фирмы.

používám AVG od dááávna a je bezva. Jako každý uživatel internetu se mi občas stane, že jsem zvolil "neověřenou" adresu a AVG mě vždy varuje a odrazuje od dalšího pokračování. Myslím, že je to důležité také proto, že sledovací služby v internetu rády sledují kam se kdo kouká a jejich snaha vlézt za mnou i na záchod je neslušná a právě různé aplikace AVG mi mou svobodu před takovými aspoň trošku chrání. Proto ne pět, ale osm hvězd.
