B. Grimm AVG complete suite use
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
Thanks

Kevin Hawkins Tuneup won't convert from free to paid version
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?

M Foster AVG 2017 major disappointment
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.
Best Answer chosen by M FosterMike PhelanI'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.....

e s AVG AV Free - Cannot restore quarantined files
AVG AV Free: Version 17.3.3011
Three items have been quarantined, I wish to recover them. From the quarantine menu, I attempt to select the three items, then proceed to restore them but they will not remained selected. If i attempt to use the "Select All Viruses" they will not remain selected either.
Is the recover/extract features ones that I cannot use until I have purchased your application? Or can you provide a solution for extracting these files.

Best Answer chosen by e sPaul WebsterSame issue here - the first responder has missed the problem.
The quarentine menu appears - but selected items automtically unselect after a few seconds - too quick to perform the action (such as Report because I know it is a FP).

Best Answer chosen by Garry CooperGarry CooperHi Kishore,
Many thanks for your advice, which I followed. It turned out to be Trusteer Rapport which was causing the problem, so I was able to reset the appropriate setting and now everything works beautifully! I am puzzled however as to why the setting was changed, without my personal input. Many thanks indeed.

Richard Shea Bloody adverts!
How the hell do I stop AVG from popping up adverts for it's own products?
I just bought 20 licences for a big client as this happens, and quite honestly I'm sending the whole lot back and buying something else which is ad-free as the client thinks I've installed a free version!
Any ideas?
