I had gone to the AVG virus protection website to download their free version. As I was reading about the different coverages, and how much more I could get with their full coverage offer of something like $40 for 3 years, I decided I'd sign on for the 3 year offer.
I clicked on the offer icon and it went to the next step (or so I believed) where I filled in the necessary information (name, address, etc.) and initiated payment through my Pay Pal Acct.
When the confirmation came through to my e-mail account, however, it was not from AVG, but for this membership to... I'm not really sure... Some software download, installation, extractor program. I wrote to them immediately and said that I thought I'd been duped and somehow hijacked to their website, where I'd unknowingly signed up for their product when I thought I was signing up for AVG. I never heard another word from them except an automated e-mail telling me someone would be in contact in 48 hours. NOT!
I am still trying to be in contact with someone and have asked for my money to be refunded... in their "terms and conditions" it states that if not completely satisfied, I can get a full refund within 56 days. It's been almost 30 days with no further contact from them, so I'm quite skeptical I'll see any of my $ returned.
