I DISCOVERED IS NOT A SCAM.

ComplaintsScamsDIGITALRIVER IRELAND SYDNEY IS THE NAME FOR AVG COMPUTER SECURITY

I fell into the trap, at first, of not recognising the DIGITALRIVER IRELAND SYDNEY CHARGE. It is the account charge process name used by AVG. Now AVG has proven over the last 4 years to be good computer security, but clearly their accounts process is not as smart when they fail to include the name AVG in the charge process.

    I did not update or upgrade my AVG secure....and have not done so for a year. My AVG secure settings are not automatic.  I have never before seen 'DIGITALRIVER IRELAND SYDNEY AUS' appear on my credit billing.  I watch my credit billing very closely because I am on Welfare.

        This is an Anti Virus Software provider, they trade under different names to the name that appears on credit card statements. You may have an auto pay set up for payment once a year. Check your Anti Virus software, you may find this is why you are being charged.

    i have a charge of $139.69 on my credit card. i need an invoice as this is for my company. i will also be contacting AVG and cancelling any products i have with them this is a very shady way to do business. my lawyer has been notified and unless i receive satisfactory response today, the matter will proceed.

    Yes I was offered 60day free of Premium AVG.  It stated nothing would be taken from my bank until the 60days expired. Already on day 1 only a tiny amount came out but why say it was free if it isn't. Have never seen the name Digital River Ireland Sydney before until it appeared on my bank statement.

    I have had an amount of money taken out of my credit card account for a e-mail address that no longer exists.  All I would like is a phone number for this company so I can cancel this account that takes money for no reason.  If I do not get a response I will call Consumer Affaires.  Thank you.
