Has anybody here got onto the AVG Forum?
I switched from AVG 7 Free and a great experience to AVG 8 Expensive and
have had nothing but trouble since - and they do NOT address problems.
When I try to get on the forum the system goes into a loop.

I have the AVG 8.0 Free Edition installed on both my desktop and laptop. Why
did you switch from AVG 7.0 to AVG 8.0 paid, when you can get their AVG 8.0
Free Edition at
http://free.avg.com/download-avg-anti-virus-free-edition
I have not had any problems whatsoever with the new AVG 8.0 Free Edition.

What is "AVG 8 Expensive"?
If it means you moved to the paid version, why did you move to the paid
version?

Well I switched to Avast,,,
but to get on the AVG forum you will probably have to enable cookies for
that site

If you have moved to a paid version of the AVG 8, they don't have forums.
They have email support.

I wanted their constant system monitoring setup - especially while on line.

That tells me I don't exist - after sending me an email with my username and
password in it (and that exact same URL). I tried immediately after getting
the email and again the next day.
The thing is, if you don't exist you can't ask them what's wrong.

Been there - done that. (They COULD have the decency to tell you what the
problem is instead of merely looping.)

Is that actually to say that they will refuse to let you on a forum if you
don't have a free version? But as I said, they don't even answer my reports
from the paid version sign-on. One time after my very first request they
sent me an auto-report program that didn't report. Now they don't even
reply. (The problem? It tries to do updates all day and all night long
when I have automatic Updates unchecked and scheduled update set to once a
day at 12:00.)
A detail I omitted is that I got the system to send me Username/Password
info. I went directly from their message to the forum with the username and
password (with cookies turned on). Thereupon the system told me there was
no such username and password listed - - after notifying me exactly what
they were!! I even did cut-n-paste.

You need to be careful using cut and paste with user names and
passwords. It's quite easy to include an extra space which of course
makes either one invalid.

I suspect that as a cutter-paster of some 20 years experience at least one
of my many repeated cut/paste operations on top of many hand typed entries
managed to be right.
I'm not terribly surprised that the staff of AVG can be brainwashed into
actually believing their system is foolproof, perfect and otherwise
unimaginably wonderful. But it does amaze me that people who have actually
had to use their crummy systems can believe in this imagined perfection so
powerfully that they automatically assume anyone who comes up against their
odious mess with crappy results is obviously at fault himself - and that he
would automatically have given up with one lazy half assed try. Yet I see
it year after year after year.

Actually no. With the tiniest modicum of effort and _care_ it's quite
difficult to screw up a cut and paste.
