Hi,

I currently have an isseue with AVG Free where it blocks an application - Dynojet Powercore from launching the application interface but the service is running in Windows task manger.

I have contacted Dynojet UK and USA and they have not had any other clients with this problem as yet.

They did remotley access a base unit with Dynojet powercore and AVG installed and confirmed it was AVG as when it is removed with AVG clear the apllication loads correctly.

We have this Dynojet Powercore software on 1 base unit and 2 laptops all with the same result as when AVG is removed the application runs as it should.
This iseue is the same with Avast which we did also try.

All Pc's are Win 11 22H2 or 22H1 with a much higher spec than is required.
Currently the base and 1 laptop do not have AVG installed as the Dynojet Powercore software is needed for accessing Motorcyce Tuning.

Any thoughts would be appreciated or if someone could try the above application and generate the same iseue.

Thanks

Thank you for writing back to us, Ian.

Could you let us know whether you're using any other antivirus software on your devices other than AVG?
Also, if you could reinstall AVG Antivirus on one of your devices, temporarily disable it's individual components one by one, we may be able to narrow down which AVG shield/component is causing the issue.
Refer to this article for detailed instructions to temporarily disable the individual components of AVG Antivirus.
Keep us updated.

Hi Hendrik,

We're glad to look into this & help you.
Please let us know the version of AVG (Open AVG - Menu - About).
Also, clarify whether enabling it manually keeps it active after the restart.

Be interested in your views.  I bought and paid for driver updater for 2 years at the cost of £27.99.  That was back in September. Yesterday morning AVG decided to take (steal) £29.99 from my PayPal.  I took this up with AVG and eventually PayPal.  AVG said they were passing my submission to another department.  PayPal say I wasn't entitled to a refund as I hadn't cancelled my subscription within 30 days.  Why do people not read what is written!  It clearly stated next payment due 2021!  So I fill out another AVG online form.  What happens?  I get a refund for £27.99 and lose my driver update.  Seems no-one is actually bright enough to realise they have taken £29.99 from me unlawfully and no-one wants to refund me this money.  It may not be a lot to many of you but as an OAP I can't afford to have people just take money from me.  I have been cyber mugged!!

I purchased Tuneup, downloaded, and installed it.  I'm logged in.  But I can't use it because it keeps telling me I first have to buy it.  But I already bought it.  Now what?

I purchased the entire AVG suite: Anti-virus, Tune-up, VPN and Driver Updater (for 2 PCs). I had no problem loading all 4 apps into my laptop, but how do I load the 4 into my desktop and how do I load the applicable apps into my Android phone?
Thanks

Hi guys, AVG 2017 is compatible and adding the registry key since 1/3/2018.

Browsing the Community pages I am discovering that many others are as frustrated as I am at the latest release of AVG.  With no warning, it was installed, and there are no instructions for how to use it.  It is not user friendly at all to schedule scans.  Even if I do a scan, it keeps saying Last Scan:  Never.  That does not give me any confidence.  I hope AVG fixes it, as I am a paying customer.  But I will definitely not renew my subscription when it comes time for that, the way the software is now.

I'm very much with you Madeline Foster. My patience and that of my wife is fast running out. This arrogant company and their "AVG Technologies" personnel are treating theit customers with total disdain.
The answer to your question is probably not true as I have two computers, which I rarely use other than for storage, which are both still running AVG Internet Security 2016 on my 2 year subscription. Their virus definitions are being updated correctly.
I suspect it's the Avast management trying to be clever. The update was obviously not ready for release.
Best of luck to all of us.....

I keep getting these AVG f$^&*( pop ups appearing on my desk top.  The latest in is one which says get your PC ready for the holidays.
Does any one have any advice on how to stop these things appearing?
I was in the middle of a time assessment when one popped up, and have mnore to do, so am not feeling very grateful about its intrusion into my private space and time at the min AVG.


Thanks
