Compare the exact line, amount and posted status with your own receipt or account activity; the name alone cannot confirm the merchant or whether you authorized the payment.

Why it shows up like this
Unreviewed registry note: A charge listed as AVG* TECHNOLOGIES on your credit card or bank statement points to software purchased from AVG Technologies / Gen Digital. Gen Digital is the parent company behind cybersecurity brands including AVG, Norton, and Avast. This transaction covers security software such as AVG Internet Security & TuneUp, AVG AntiVirus Pro, or AVG Secure VPN. On credit card billing statements, the descriptor often appears as AVG* TECHNOLOGIES, AVG E-COMMERCE, or AVG.COM.
Unreviewed registry note: This charge most frequently catches cardholders off guard because of automatic annual subscription renewals. When you buy antivirus protection or download a free trial on a Windows PC or Mac, you agree to recurring annual billing. After the initial promotional term ends, usually after twelve months, the subscription automatically renews at standard retail rates between $46.99 and $69.99 per year. A family member might have installed AVG TuneUp to speed up a slow laptop, or an old laptop you no longer use may still have an active paid license linked to your payment card.
