Ugh.  I just want it to scan for virus and then go away.  Really.  AVG has always been an upsell pest.  But since I am a home user, that is not really relevant to me, the upsell.  If I had needed it; I would have purchased it.  I have always recommended that people download it.  But seriously, I am about to uninstall it.  I have spent every day since I installed it turning off some feature.

AVG, you have gotten too big for your britches.
