AVG is not a security vendor - they are a malware company disguised as a security vendor. They're just like all the other browser highjacking bullshit companies like Perion. Look at AVG's logo and how similar it is to Windows'...the whole thing is designed to confuse people.



I've also seen them directly involved in affiliate toolbar installers and hosting "safe site"-style badges for sites that are pushing scamware/malware. Agree that AVG is not a security vendor.
