Submitting a file or URL to AVG for review

AVG Support provides forms for reporting false positive and false negative files and URLs. You can use the false positive form if you believe an AVG app is incorrectly detecting a clean website or file. You can fill in the false negative form to report a suspicious file or website which has not been detected by AVG apps.
