john smith how to remove duplicates from computer
the older version of avg pc tuneup had an option to scan and remove duplicate items found on your computer. does the newer version of avg tuneup have the same option? I cannot find it
Best Answer chosen by john smithKarthikeyan (Avast) Hello John,
I will help you with the necessary information.
The latest version of AVG TuneUp does not have an option to remove the duplicate files. To make the program more simpler and easy to use, some of the old features were removed after hearing feedback from our customers.
If you wish to use this duplicate finder feature, then you need to install the previous version of AVG TuneUp.
Please uninstall this new version from your computer control panel and click on this link https://www.avg.com/en-us/download-thank-you.php?product=gse&variant=803 to install the previous version of AVG TuneUp which includes the duplicate finder.

Denis Baggaley PC Tune Up
Guiys,
How do I check PC Tune Up's progress with disc fragmentation? It runs for 8 hours, but seems never to finish!

Are you running disk defragmentation as part of maintenance scan? We'd request to cancel it and run disk defragmentation scan alone from 'All functions' tile. Click All functions -> Hard disk -> Disk defragmentation.

AVGUI.exe consumes all available CPU cycles even when inactive
The script-based AVGUI.EXE is always active, consuming all available CPU cycles even when the UI is not active.
With AVG installed, a differential backup which took 6 minutes now takes 45 minutes to complete.
No device or directory scanning was scheduled nor active.
For common x86 architectures, suggest implementing a native machine-based language for Windows event messaging rather than relying on the Microsoft .NET Framework interpreter.
Is the secret to AVG's success the inability of its users to run programs?

Ruth Curl AVG FREE 19.4.3089 has red x on tray icon
I have AVG FREE which told me to update which I did. It now has a red circle with X in it. When I mouseover it I get the message "Antivirus Free You Are Protected with a white checkmark on it. What is with the red circled X and how do I get rid of it. It is irritating since I have to keep mousing over it in case it has changed its message!
Thanks for any help.

Let me clarify it for you.
It looks like an update or reboot is required by the AVG program, so it has marked as 'X' on the icon of AVG AntiVirus free on your PC. Please reboot your PC once and keep us updated on the progress.

Russ Russell Anti Track
I'm a longtime subscriber to AVG Ultimate. Why am I being asked to purchase the Anti Tracking tool? Shouldn't this "internet security" app be included with my "Ultimate" subscription?
Best Answer chosen by Russ RussellBalasubramanian (Avast) Hello Robert,
Yes, AVG Internet Security is included in AVG Ultimate package.
However, AVG Anti-Track is a different product which will stop tracking and give you real privacy.
To know more about it, check this https://www.avg.com/antitrack official website.
Thank you.

Stephen M AVG tray icon showing red cross, but I'm protected??
I have AVG Free, and used for years with no issues. However, now the tray icon has a red cross through it, but the program states, 'I am protected', and my virus definitions and program are all up to date. How do I get rid of the red cross?

This isn't the usual behavior of AVG program.
In this regard, please try repairing the program once & check if it helps.
