Illegal version of AVG pop-up
Some users have reported that their AVG has been downgraded to a trial version despite having a license valid until 2018.
Please note that if you see this pop-up and are experiencing the described behavior, you may be a victim of Internet piracy.
We recommend buying a valid license by clicking on link in the pop-up or downgrading to AVG Free.
AVG Anti-Theft service
The AVG Anti-Theft service is designed to help and support AVG AntiVirus for Android users in case their mobile device is lost or stolen. This feature needs to be registered and requires active internet connection on the device. You will then be able to easily Locate, Wipe, Shout or Lock your device through the Remote Management web interface.
