everytime I try to download avg products I get other products that say Download. why is this not a safe site to dcownload from? Some of them I in error downloaded on an older computer and could never get rid of them. Uninstall means nothing to some spammers.

Hello dutchlady1,

We recommend to download AVG from our website instead of using other sources.
Free version is available here:

Paid versions are available here:

Thank you

You say that AVG recommends downloading from their own website, but if you go to http://free.avg.com/us-en/free-antivirus-download (that's what google tells me to do if I search for DOWNLOAD AVG FREE) you'll see that the free version will be downloaded from CNET. They didn't listen to you!

Full installation packages

Hello Kees,

Yes, main download link on our site points to Cnet, that is why I provided dutchlady1 with alternative link to full installation packages downloadable directly from avg.com.

Thank you

Hello dutchlady1,

can you please describe the situation in more details?
- where are you downloading AVG products, what exactly then happens, etc.

You can check all AVG products available at CNET (download.com) at this website.

Thank you
