When I rebooted my machine I got a dialog saying that AVG Safe Toolbar was installed and ready to use and asking if I wanted to enable it or disable it. Since I took no action to install their product, I said to disable it. But AVG apparently decided that I needed to use THEIR search engine as my homepage so guess what?
If that isn't the definition of malware, what the hell is?
When uninstalling their Safe Toolbar product, they cleared out all of my cookies which means that now I have to jump through the hoops at all of the sites I visit regularly again. I guess that was out of spite for having the temerity to uninstall their product that I never authorized them to install in the first place.
Thus I have also every other AVG product on my machine and will never do business with them again. I will also spread the word as to their new tactics so that people can be aware of what they are getting themselves into if they let AVG into their machine.
