Hello Kevin'z,

We certainly understand your concern.
If you are getting this error message "error occurred while saving configuration : the specified file was not found" on the AVG program then it is better to completely reinstall the AVG program. Please follow the below mentioned instructions:
1) First step is to use AVG Remover tool and uninstall your AVG program completely. To download AVG Remover Tool please click on the following link:
http://aa-download.avg.com/filedir/util/AVG_Remover.exe
2) Run the downloaded tool and follow the instructions displayed on your screen.

3) Your computer will be restarted automatically. After the restart, AVG Remover will finish the uninstallation.
NOTE: Once the AVG Remover Tool has done with its process. Please go to the C drive and look for a folder named as "AVG Remover" and I request you to delete it manually.

To download, install and activate AVG Internet Security program please follow the instructions mentioned in the following article: http://bit.ly/1DXPL5z .

If the IDM application is interrupted by AVG Firewall then please try allowing the application through AVG firewall by following the instructions mentioned in this link: http://avgread.me/1G3omO8 .
Please feel free to contact us should you need any assistance.
