When it scans it interferes with spotify, either by pausing then speeding up the song constantly (as if it's playing on a jammed cassette), or stopping and exiting spotify completely, v annoying esp. if I want to have white noise on through the night, and it stops it in the middle of the night - only way around this is to download the playlist and play offline. Can't find a setting on the free version to exclude spotify from scans.

Decent virus scanner, but even the PAID version can't disable notifications advertising other products, it's annoying and intrusive. The developer response falsely states you can disable this, but that is not a notification setting within the app. It also forces you to allow all-the-time location tracking just to do a WiFi scan, which is total BS. The developer response claims this is necessary, but there should be an option for a one-time scan with only one-time permissions, other apps have it.

Hello Kyle, to sustain the development of our anti-virus, we need to show ads in the free version, thanks for understanding. We only ask for access and persmissions that we need to protect your device properly. Permission classifications in Android are very general (to be able to perform a small action we need to ask for a whole permission).

I've used AVG for literally decades, since the 90's. It's the only antivirus software I ever trust for my electronics. I just wish I could afford the paid versions, but the free one is still way better than anything else I've ever tried. Yes, I tried others just to compare, and they fall far short of AVG. It's always easy to install and integrate. I never worry about using my phone or laptop, even away from home. Keep up the great work, AVG! (Just work on cheaper subscriptions, please? 🥺)
