John Steffens PC Restart needed
Why is it that EVERY TIME I go to AVG Internet Security I have this big RED message about "PC RESTART NEEDED"?
I go there about once a week and it seems as though this always always presented.
Today, the ONLY thing that was up dated was virus definitions.
This is really annoying that I always have to restart.

Eric Fry AVG Tune up
I have purchased a year subscription to AVE Tune Up today. Apparently it is activated but when I try to fix the performance issues I'm asked to buy a subscription again. What am I doing wrong?

Maggie Mal AVG internet security
When I open up my I/Net Security it comes up with
UI FAILED TO LOAD
This is very embarrassing
Your protection is running, but the UI is having a really bad day
(EXIT)
["undefined", "module", "main layout". "view", "default"]
What is going on?
I tried ringing the Support Number of 1800 429 319 but it is SHUTDOWN due to Coronavirus situation.

Ron Newfield Without AVGARDISK, Windows won't boot!
Having established that when the AVG disk driver avgsrdisk.sys is installed, Windows 7 WEI fails consistently, I have found a much worse problem :-
If avgsrdisk.sys is removed, renamed or corrupted, then Windows will not boot at all, not even in safe mode!
You can't boot at all using any of the safe mode options, forcing a Windows re-install.
This is a very important issue for an anti-virus program - If something gets onto your system somehow and just renames avgsrdisk.sys, then your system becomes un-bootable.
The only way round this without a complete Windows re-install is to get into Dos mode via the Windows recovery disk (If you have one) and re-instate avgsrdisk.sys from a backup.
This is a serious security problem.

Best Answer chosen by Ron NewfieldRon NewfieldThey are not going to fix this.
This was first reported over 6 months ago and they say they can't even reproduce the problem, despite many people reporting the same problem on various operating systems.
All they need to do is delete or rename avgsrdisk.sys and EVERY version of Windows will fail to load, even into safe mode.
If anyone is doing a complete re-install of Windows for any reason, then just delete or rename avgsrdisk.sys and see how far a reboot gets.
Report the failures to this thread and maybe they will get their engineers to look at it properly.
I am afraid that the ONLY fix for this is to do a complete re-install of Windows.

After a clean instal of Windows 10, I downloaded and installed my licensed copy of AVG PC Tuneup. I opted to scan drive C, and was prompted to restart the PC, which I did. Now the message is:"Scanning and repairing drive (C): 11% complete". The scan is stuck at 11% for about an hour. What should I do?

I understand the inconvenience.
To be sure, have you followed the steps as mentioned (here) to stop disk scan?

david mcadam Subscription renewal
I recently received notification by email that my subscription for AVG internet security had been renewed. I did NOT receive prior notification and I did not give permission and nor did I want it renewed. I sent you an email on 18 May informing you of this and to confirm that I DID NOT WANT IT RENEWED. I also said I did not want any subscriptions renewed in future and requested that you confirm in writing by email that this has been done. You have not replied.
Unless I hear from you within the next 5 days I will be taking this matter up with trading standards as you have taken money from my credit card without permission and I will also intend to contact HSBC my credit card supplier immediately.
I await you response and confirmation
David McAdam
Aso you have the wrong address on my account. It is 17 Greenbank Road, Chester CH23RW

Best Answer chosen by david mcadamAlok Kumar (Avast)Hello David,
We appreciate you contacting us about this payment. This order was placed for AVG Internet Security because you agreed to automatic extensions of your Subscription Period when you originally purchased your AVG product. We can assure you that we have not processed any unauthorized payments from your card or account.
I also could not find any previous contact using your email address.
We sent an email notification 30 days prior to the order being placed to let you know in advance that this payment was due. This also contained information on how to cancel your Subscription.
May I know if you want to receive a refund for AVG Internet Security - Unlimited automatic renewal/purchase?
Regards,
Alok.

1. Yes, the settings will not revert back if we reinstall the product.
2. Unfortunately, there isn't any option to recover the settings configured in AVG TuneUp program.
3 & 4. The revamped version of AVG TuneUp 19.1, you can follow the steps as my colleague (Dinesh) stated earlier to install the product.
You can find an option to edit your post nearby your reply.
Thank you. If we can be of more help, please never hesitate to let us know.
