Sultan Alaskar Can I use an older license on the latest version?
Im asking because I prefer to buy from my favorite resellers, and some of them have a previous year listed in the title such as a "AVG Internet Security 2019". Im not sure whether they mean it will NOT work on any newer year version, or if they just forgot to update the title/page like some websites do with the copyright footer.
I just need a simple yes or no, please. Im not here for another sales pitch because just got in touch with sales support and all I got from them is "it's best to buy directly from AVG" because "buying it from other sources won't get you support from AVG". Why would I care about that? He kept dodging my questions and steering away from answering me directly then repeating that same phrase over and over. I asked if he was a bot, but he said no (which makes it even worse). Hopefully I don't get the same treatment here too.

Blake Bigelow Scan History
How far back does the scan history show on a Mac Free version? Is there a file that stores the history I can see?
Best Answer chosen by Blake BigelowJovana Petkovic (Avast)Hello, again Blake,
Our specialists got back to me and confirmed the following:
1. The scan history records are stored, and saved in the following directories:
/Library/Application Support/AVGAntivirus/config/service-data/scheduled-scans/
/Library/Application Support/AVGAntivirus/config/service-data/scan-reports/
However, these files are encrypted.
2. The records are kept until the application is reinstalled
Once you reinstall the app, it starts collecting the history from the beginning.
I hope this clarifies and helps, let us know if you need any further help!
All the best! Jovana.

If you believe the threat pop-up has falsely detected by AVG, then we would request you to submit the file to our developers for analysis.
AVG False-positive site
If it is confirmed as safe, it will be whitelisted and the virus definitions database will be released through an update and you will be notified via email.
If you wish to exclude the website, you can follow the steps mentioned in the below article. However, it is not recommended. I'd suggest you to wait for the reply from our threat detection team.
Please ensure that the program update of the AVG AntiVirus and Virus Definition is up to date.
Updating Virus definitions and AVG AntiVirus application version
Thanks for your understanding.
S R AVG Driver
I have uninstalled the AVG free version software but 11 drivers remain in the c:\windows\system32\drivers folder. I am unable to delete them. Is there any way I can delete them safely?? The avgKbd.sys driver controls the keyboard and if I delete them the keyboard does not work. This is so unacceptable. This driver is one of the main cause of blue screen crash. I have already talked with your support team and placed a complain about it. I hope you look at these issues. I hope to hear from your AVG technical team to address this issue. You also don't provide any email contact. How ridiculous??

Be Still Firewall Rules
I tried the "Support Chat" first, but got nothing but a spinning dot wheel.
When I try to create or edit firewall rules, under the actions of " Action, Protocol, Direction, etc" I get a black bar when the pop-down arrow is clicked instead of the appropriate choice for the rule setting. This seems to be new since the last software update.
Anyone know why this might be happening, or experiencing it for themselves?
