Hello Jade,

We are here to help.
You have an active trial subscription of AVG TuneUp Unlimited under your account. May I ask you what exactly happens when you try to re-install the program?
Unfortunately, we are unable to view the screenshots you provided here. Could you please refer this article and re-send us with the screenshot?
You can post the screenshot here in your topic. Click on "Answer" & then click on the "Image" [mountain symbol] & follow the instructions.

I was able to re-install AVG TuneUp. Though when I try to install AVG AntiVirus Free it first brings a pop up that says "Search for app in the Store? You need to install an app for this task. [Yes] [No]"
Then after trying to install, it gives a popup that says "AVG Antivirus installer is unable to continue because the installer is corrupted or is forbidden to run on this machine. For more information please see the Setup.log file. Reason: 41226 (0x00001A0A) [DNS resolve error]"
