AVG Rewards is a potentially unwanted feature of the AVG Safeguard toolbar and cannot be uninstalled separately. It will display popup advertisements in the browser with coupon offers based on the web pages the user visits. The Rewards Coupon Tab is only viewable when visiting a merchant site participating in the Rewards coupon program. It is often bundled with various AVG products including the AVG anti-virus through an 'offer'.

It adds a Browser Helper Object (BHO) to Internet Explorer. The primary executable is named AVGRewards.dll. The setup package generally installs about 3 files and is usually about 524.73 KB (537,324 bytes).
