Hello Neill,

You've reached the AVG community support forum.
Could you specify whether you meant if the AVG Internet Security installed in your Mac can scan your iPhone for malware, when connected via USB?
Awaiting your response.

I´v bought and installed AVG VPN yesterday. I use Windows 10, Firefox and Outlook.
I have the same problem as other persons within the community: VPN kills the internet connection and therefore stops any phone calls via landline telephone as well.
What can I do to use AVG VPN and my internet successfully?

Hi,
I have been charged on numerous occasions for a product that I don’t even use, and the subscription doesn’t even show up on my account, also can’t access payment history as it’s showing nothing there either. 

The payments have been made to Digital River. How am I supposed to cancel if nothing is showing up on my account???

I've just purchased AVG internet Security and have begun by running a Deep Scan on my 500 GB MacBook Pro 2017. It's been running now for more than two days so I'm wondering if this is normal or if something is wrong. It's now scanning my PhotoLibraries which are on a 1TB external drive with 800 GB used.

Hello Jcak,

The new version of AVG TuneUp is a revamped one which was designed as per the suggestions/feedback received for the old version.
Hence, certain features couldn't seen on new version which includes 'disk defragmentation'.
If you would like to use the disk defragmentation feature, we suggest to uninstall new version and install the old version using below links:
Licensed old version AVG PC TuneUp download link:

Unlimited Devices AVG PC TuneUp old version download link:

Description: Hello everyone,

I have a question regarding the functionality of AVG antivirus software. I would like to know if AVG antivirus provides options to block websites based on user-defined keywords. Specifically, I am interested in being able to specify certain keywords or phrases and have AVG antivirus block or restrict access to any website containing those keywords.

I believe this feature would greatly enhance internet filtering capabilities and provide users with more control over their web browsing experience. If anyone has knowledge or experience with this feature in AVG antivirus, I would appreciate your insights and guidance.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Best regards, Michael Wik

Hi Michael,

Thank you for contacting AVG Community.
We're glad to help you with this.
We're afraid as there is no such option available in AVG currently.
Your feedback is highly appreciated. Our developers might take this into consideration in future. 
Thank you in advance!

So a few months ago I went to a website that I use daily and all of a sudden Threat secured popped up URL: Phishing.  I put the website on the exceptions list with zero success.  In order for me to go to the website I have to turn off the web shield.  Then it works fine. I should not have to do this for one website!  I contacted AVG though the help area and had a rep sign into my computer to try to fix the problem.  Something that he said would take a few minutes to fix turned into an hour and still not been fixed.  He could not find the issue and said I should uninstall google chrome because that was obviously the problem.  I did this, rebooted the computer, installed a fresh version with no success as well.  I tried opening the website with internet explorer and have the same problem.  I have the paid version of AVG and want this website added to the exception list.  If I am paying for a service I would like for my problem to be fixed without having to jump through several hoops (which obviously did not help).  I pay for AVG to keep my computer safe not cause me a headache.
