I'm about to dump my last installation of AVG anti virus still in one of my desktop machines. It doesn't get a lot of use (in the shed) so last night when I turned it on I saw that AVG was doing it's update by itself - as it usually does. Nice program!
However when I finally got back to the machine I found myself on a new home page for the AVG search engine, and all possibilities for Goggle had been pushed to one side. This change was not requested or authorised, they simply did it as part of their 'service'

Bad Program!
This creeping intrusion of programs installing unwanted software reaches new depths with this event.
Farewell AVG, you've gone too far this time!
