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.

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.

John Smith How do I make these AVG popups STOP???
Yesterday AVG popped this message up at me: http://i.imgur.com/xgmGERj.png
I keep getting messages like this popping up from AVG, even though I have system tray notifications turned OFF. I'm getting really sick of seeing these blatant advertisements from AVG, and if there isn't a way to make these messages stop, I will consider AVG to be adware and uninstall it. AVG should work in the background without me having to think about it, these messages are UNACCEPTABLE.

I'd like to announce that it's possible to change the frequency of the advertising pop-ups (even completely disable in paid versions) in the recently updated version of AVG. Please visit this article (http://avgread.me/popups) to find out more.
Regards,
Jan

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?
Best Answer chosen by Stephen MDinesh Krishnan (Avast)Hi Stephen,
This isn't the usual behavior of AVG program.
In this regard, please try repairing the program once & check if it helps.

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?

Best Answer chosen by Mike WebbAvinash (Avast) Mike, AVG services will always run in the background to actively protect your PC from virus and hacker attacks. The AVGUI.exe process needs to run for the other services to run properly.
Thank you for reaching us here.
We'd be glad to help. Do you wish to disable lock screen on your PC? If yes, let us know the operating system (say Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 10) of your device to assist accordingly.
