AVG keeps Alt+Tabbing me to desktop

Hey there AVG Community

When I'm playing PayDay 2 on my Laptop, at a random moment it alt+tabs me to the desktop and I see the AVG Zen Icon flash on my toolbar.

This happens with all the games I play and its getting pretty annoying

Any solutions?

Sorry to necro this old post, but I just wanted to point out that this issue seems to be reoccurring.

I've been having the same problem Ed mentioned for the last one or two days. I'm playing a game or watching a movie and about every 15/20 minutes or so the program is minimized to the desktop. After trying several solutions I tried uninstalling AVG, because I remember this problem first started around the same time I upgraded my AVG. Now I've been playing for several hours without any problem.

Same as above, seems to have started immediately after I updated AVG and is alt-tabbing from games and applications around once every 15 minutes.  Would appreciate a fix as I would like to continue using AVG, thanks.

I have also had the same issue. Every 10-15 minutes at random. I don't know how to disable this without uninstalling AVG.
