Has anyone had Problems installing and activating AVG AntiTracking. When I download it and install, it won't accept the activation key, says it invalid. AVG can't seem to tell me how to fix it and have offered Remote Support but I am not keen on giving access to my computer to a stranger. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times shutting down my computer each time, even turned off the Firewall. Can anyone help. I have a Mac Monterey.
Thank you.
iMac 24″, macOS 12.6
There are no known Windows-like Viruses in the wild that self replicate and affect macOS, because of the underling UNIX Foundation and Permission Limitation.
Additionally, and specific to Big Sur macOS 11 and Monterey macOS 12, the Operating System resides in a Sealed and Read Only Volume that can not be opened by the User and protects against from “ Bad Actor “ Software.
The Only thing this Antivirus software is protecting is the Bank Account of the Developers and for zero return to the User aside from the problems this software creates.
AntiVirus Developers purposefully Market their product to create a “ Fear Factor “. In so doing, creating a False Need for their Product.
The The Built in Security is all that is required to protect the computer.
Any of the below should be removed as per Developers Instructions

You don’t need AVG Anti-tracking or anything AVG.
Installing the malware would likely cause less harm than is done by any of the third-Party security software.
Safari has anti-tracking built into it if “tracking” bothers you.
Thank you for your advice, I think I will have to give this some thought and perhaps just forget about using this product.
Thank you for responding, I don’t think I will use this product, looks like I don’t really need it. Appreciate your advice. Thank you.
You are welcome 🇨🇦
