Kai Sawatzki Turbo mode
When purchasing AVG Tuneup , I assumed that this version included the switch to turbo mode.
Since there are a lot of users complaining about this on the net, I ask that with the next update or fix,
to enable the use of turbo mode again.
Otherwise this was my last purchase of AVG Tuneup, which I was happy with before making this change.

paul oxley PC Times out since upgrading AVG package
I recently upgraded my AVG package to include TuneUp, Secure VPN and AntiTrack as well as my existing AVG Internet Security package. Since the upgrade I often have trouble with web pages timing out or the responses being REALLY slow. I don't have any other Anti Virus installed (other than whatever comes with Windows10). Sometimes the problem is resolved after a reboot but not always (and this isn't a satisfactory resolution!) Not sure if this is connected but since the upgrade I often notice that the PC won't closedown due to "Privacy Filter App preventing shutdown" message. Any resolutions gratefully received before I uninstall and go back to the basic free package - thanks.

We're sorry for the discomfort this has caused you.
Let us temporarily disable your AVG programs (AVG Internet Security, AVG Secure VPN & AVG AntiTrack) one by one & check which program is causing these issues.
Refer to this article to temporarily disable your AVG Internet Security.
To disable your AVG Secure VPN, turn of the slider button in the main window of AVG Secure VPN.
Coming to your AVG AntiTrack, please disable the "Anti-Tracking" component in your AVG AntiTrack.
Keep us updated.

Jagannath Adavi AVG Scanning and repairing drive (C): stuck at 11%
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?

Nick F How to prevent AVG scanning newly compiled exe files
I just upgraded AVG free to version 1.171.3.211. I do programming almost daily and sometimes I recompile the code tens or hundreds of times per day. With the latest version of AVG, every time I make minor changes in the code and recompile the program, the AVG starts scanning the executable and it informs me it will take up to 15 seconds to finish it. This is not acceptable for me, as it would slow down the development to a crawl.
All my programs are located in a particular folder (C:\MyCode). Is there a way to tell AVG not to be concerned with any of the code from that folder (unless I decide to scan the entire folder)? What other options do I have, apart for disabling the antivirus?
Kind regards,
Nick

Shane Studte AVG Blocking All internet traffic
My AVG Internet Security keeps blocking all access to the internet. I tried disabling the firewall but it kept blocking access. I uninstall and then reinstall and it resolves the problem for a period of time only for it to occur again. This has been occurring for at least two weeks.
I checked to ensure it wasn't my browser (Firefox) by using other browsers, I checked to ensure it wasn't my network adapter but the only solve to allow internet access was to uninstall AVG.
What can I check to determine why it is blocking all access?

We do understand your concern, we apologize. Let us know the exact name of AVG you have installed, is that paid version or free version of AVG?
We would request you to follow the below steps to reinstall your AVG network filter to get issue fixed.
-Disable AVG Self Protection (http://avgclick.me/TempDisableAVG).
- Go to Control Panel -> Network Connections -> right click on the network area which is active -> "Properties"
- If there is "AVG Network filter driver" uninstall it and restart the computer twice
- AVG Firewall initializes auto-repair function so "AVG Network filter driver" should be automatically installed (therefore two restarts are needed)
- If there isn't "AVG Network filter driver" click "Install " -> "Service" -> "Have Disk" -> "Browse" and look for
c:\Program Files\AVG\AVGAV\Drivers\avgfwfd.inf

Best Answer chosen by Petr Jezek (Avast)Consuelo, It would appear that this is not possible. Have a look @ this link (http://forums.avg.com/ww-en/avg-forums?sec=thread&act=show&id=241555#post_241555) from the now old 'read only' forum.
I see that you have already created a post regarding it and our colleague has explained about it.
Please keep up the conversation in a single post for further communication.
