i have avg zen, with internet security, on 5 systems locally ,
3 of 5 systems with outlook installed received the errors,
ive ran the deep virus scan on my system, and deleted a list of items,
but still get the pop up ,
the other systems found nothing on deep scan,

currently running Vir removal, is there anything i can do AVG side?
would it be recommended to do a avg scan in win 10 safe mode? in this situation ?
any info on this bug , its pockets and removal would be much appreciated :) please and thank you

Happend again today random pop up js:lockyDownloader
Been back to tech support
AVG have had files from my machine to help them find what the problem is.
I'm told it's been escalated to their second level.for investigation.
They are aware that it's not an isolated event from one persons machine.

I am sorry to hear this.
Actually you have to first log out from the AVG my account from the program interface.
Please open AVG interface and click on "Menu-->About-->Subscription"
You will have option as "Log out account", please click on it.
Once logged out you will get option as to "enter license number"
Please click on it and enter the license number that you have purchased for AVG Internet Security.

Jan van Putten AVG internet security, new lay out horror
When AVG tells me 18.06 : looks good, no threads found (translated from Dutch) it also mentions Last computerscan 24 days ago. Virus definition one day ago, so there is some calender????
In the old lay out it was clear where to find the latest report of the scan by date, and number of items scanned. Now you name the scan @Avgscan-Scheduled-scan, but where to find the report?
AVG does not make me happy (after years of paid version). AVG.nl says: Ah you bought it .com, we are only the sellers and cannot use .com data. Complicated when ordering and late to find out.
Tune up also new layout. AVG Driver update I removed, (it had stopped functioning) and because it was blocked by Malwarebytes as PUP.
Looking forward to your reply, thanks, regards Jan van Putten

I can understand your concern. The latest interface of AVG is modified to make the program more simpler and easier to use.
Scan Report files are saved in one of the following locations in the latest version of AVG:
Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, or Windows Vista: C:\ProgramData\AVG\Antivirus\report
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\AVG\Antivirus\report

MARION HARRISON AVG 2017 ultimate update is blocking internet access
Hi, I use the paid version of AVG. My AVG automatically upgraded to AVG 2017 last week and since then it is blocking all access to to the internet - including access to the AVG website. Inorder to access the internet I have to disable AVG.
This is totally unacceptable - why am I paying for something that I cannot use.
I also cannot acces online help. There is no longer a chat session availble.
Please!! can someone help? If not I will have to look at other antivirus installations. I have been using AVG (paid) for some time. So this is all very distressing.

Andrew Lawson Access to Facebook, Youtube and AVG log in
Hi,
I have been reasonably happy with my Avg Ultimate but now i seem to have some problems.
To start with, my location is in China, this could also enhance the problems. I am unable to log in to My Account.because after pushing the log in key, I am instructed to check the box- there is no box to check-maybe this is a China problem!!
Until recently I have been able to access Facebook & Youtube but now I am being stopped and one of the error messages attributed it to AVG. I am able to access them on other devices & computers. The latter problems have happened after the change in format of AVG.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Also try to connect with a different network and check is the issue still persist. We look forward for your reply.

Adam Graves UI load issue
Well, last day or so I've been getting an error that AVG's UI won't load ('The UI is having a bad day'. Hilarious... Crappy jokes about it not functioning are just what I want to hear when I need to access the UI and can't). Multiple restarts have not helped. Kinda need to add an exception for a known safe product (AVG is known to require an exception), and not liking that my anti-virus is not functional enough for me to do so. Any solutions that are quicker than finding a new anti-virus provider?
Running on 64-bit 8.1My apologies if I seem a bit grumpy, I need to have access to the previously mentioned program, and this is not acceptable. It's currently functioning as malware.
Best Answer chosen by Adam GravesAvinash (AVG Technologies) Hello Adam,

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.
