Honestly, the intro discounts on AVG’s site are decent, but watch the auto-renewal. It spikes massively after year one. Grab the promo tier, then immediately toggle off recurring billing in your account portal. Once your sub expires, clicking cancel usually triggers a retention pop-up with a much cheaper renewal rate anyway.

Never pay full price or let AVG auto-renew. Grab whatever promo is on avg.com for year one, but turn off auto-billing in your account immediately. When the sub gets close to expiring, you'll usually get an in-app pop-up offering that same intro discount again just to stop you from leaving.

Most AVG codes shared on Reddit are dead affiliate links. If you do find one, drop it into the "I have a coupon" box before entering your card info. Watch out for the sneaky auto-renew toggle, too. Honestly, you're usually better off grabbing a discounted key on Newegg instead of paying their direct site rates.

Honestly, skip TuneUp entirely. It's basically bloatware when Windows built-in tools do the same job. If you want AVG Internet Security, don't pay direct renewal prices. Grab an activation key off Newegg or Amazon for way less. Just make sure you turn off auto-renew immediately in your account settings.
