Identity Protection not active

Hi, I have done a fresh install of Windows 7 on my ASUS ux32, i5, 4gb ram, 32gb issd and 500gb mechanical hhd.

To save space on my 32gb issd I have relocated the "User" directory to the 500gb mechanical drive using a registery edit.

I installed AVG Free 2015 and have not been able to get the "Identity proctection" working. I have uninstalled and reinstalled using the packaged uninstaller, I have uninstalled using the uninstaller tool provided online and have also done a repair.

I have also tried searching online for other solutions but have had no joy.

I have run AVGSys_Info and have included the link. https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=9C43DA81E65F469B%21192

Any help would be great, thanks.

Hi David,
It is probably because of moved User Directory, please refer to this post.
Thanks

Hi, Zbynek, the link given in you answer seems to have solved the problem, but now my question is, in my C:\ there is a now "Users" folder with a shortcut symbol. Does that mean that it has created a "Users" directory in my C:\ or is it just mirror of my D:\users folder. Thanks

Hi David,
For all programs it looks like there is user folder in C but in reality all data are saved to D.
Thanks
