Destroy AVG

Great idea. My approach is to advise everyone I can to start a class action lawsuit against AVG, for lost productivity, outrage, emotional distress, lost $$ for removal tools that don't work, etc.  Don't expect any $$, lawyers will get it all.  We just want to destroy AVG anyway.  When the suit is underway, post on every stock advice blog you can find that AVG will lose millions in the suit and to dump their stock right away.  The mere threat of a mass stock selloff  cause a selloff.  Anyone who reads this and knows a nice, pedatory class action lawyer, let him/her mull this over.  Microsoft should be a plaintiff, BTW.  I no longer use iexplore due to AVG malware.  Also, AVG steals Google searches.  Google should sue for lost revenue.  Can't understand why nobody has done this.
