That's what can happen when you Install software with an "Ad-Supported" license, which Is exactly what AVG Is.

You don't know what crapware you're getting during the Installation process, and whether It's malicious. I know very well of all the freeware sites that "claim" not to not have any bundled software with their products. Such sites are not purely "freeware", hence their software comes bundled with unexpected surprises. My site that's In my signature Is probably the only one (or one of very few) that only provides purely "freeware" tools and nothing else,

So when looking for licensed products without additional bundled software, license types like GPL, Donationware, MS-PL, FTL are some common types that do not Include anything other than the product Itself.
