Thank you for the information, but we apologize for the inconvenience. This may be due to missing/ corrupted files at the time of update. We can resolve this issue by performing a re-installation of your AVG program.

After the restart, please check if a folder with name AVG Remover is created under C: and remove it.  Now click this link http://www.avg.com/us-en/download to download your AVG program, run the downloaded file to start the installation process and follow the instructions on your screen.

It is customers like you that are helping to make AVG a household name. Without your support it would not have been possible. Thank you for choosing an AVG solution for your computer.

No, it stopped again. It only solved the problem the first day after the reinstallation. The last two days it hangs again at c:\windows\system32\drivers\FLTMGR.SYS

Anything else I can do?

Hello Cj,
Thank you for providing the screenshot. In this case, we will try to disable the Game mode from AVG and see if that fix the issue. Please open the AVG program and click on "Options->Advanced Settings. Scroll down the list and you can see the Game Mode checked. Please uncheck this option and restart the computer. After restart run the AVG scan and see if that fix the issue.
Thank you

Karthikeyan, seems like changing "game mode" solved the problem
cj ecj e
No, it didn't. It only solved it for the first restart. The scan is still hanging on 1%.....?
