    Ive been using AVG free edition on Windows XP for years with very few problems. I returned from holiday and booted up as normal, an update screen appeared to which I clicked yes, now after restarting as requested I get the blue screen of death followed by a black screen with flashing cursor!!!!! That was five days ago, I have tried booting up in safe mode which works but I have tried syastome restore 5 times acroos restore points going back 3 months, nothing works, really annoyed!!!!! so beware of the May 2017 update!!!!!!

    I have been using AVG free for years on Win7.
    Now, when I open the dashboard, then click to open Antivirus Free, I get a page with red print which says “Your Internet Security Trial Has Expired” and just a “Buy Now” button.
    There is no other button to press to get out of his except the little x in the top right corner which takes me back to where I click to open Antivirus Free … which takes me back to a page with red print ………
    This means that I cannot scan my computer.
    Ridiculous!!

      That’s it! I’m gone. AVG is now off my machine.
      Sad but after using it since win 95 on top of it not working (as stated in my OP above) it’s also got too cluttered and has too many pop ups.
      Bye AVG.
