Rick Miller AVG icon not in task manager
For some reason on booting my various computers with Windows 7, the AVG Internet Security icon is no longer in the task bar (bottom right of desktop). It worked fine until a few days ago. The AVG tuneup icon is still there. So I checked the task manager "services" tab and see this:
AvgAMPS - Stopped
avgfws - running
AVGIDSAgent - running
avgsvc - running
avgwd - running
Is AVGAMPS the problem?
If I start the AVG Internet Security from the 'Windows Start" button then the icon appears.
Any ideas what the problem is?
Thanks!

We regret for the inconvenience caused. We suggest you to go to 'run' command (Windows+R), choose 'startup' menu and then check for AVG Internet Security in the list and let us know if it is checked or unchecked. Thank you.
Thank you for the information.
Actually along with the AVG UI, AVG Internet security process should also be listed.
The startup manager is related to Windows and you can setup which process should run on the Windows startup.
May I know whether you have installed our latest 2016 version of AVG Internet security program?
Also try repair installation of AVG program once by following the instructions mentioned in this link: http://avgread.me/1BVxDSY

Also, how do I add it to the windows startup?
Thank you!
Actually AVG internet security process should always be running when the windows startup.
In your case some files of it would have got corrupted that is the reason it is not listed in the process.
We request you to try repair installation of AVG program once by following the instructions mentioned in this link: http://avgread.me/1BVxDSY and check whether is running in the processes tab of task manager.
It loads now but I found a problem. On the AVG Startup Manager, the AVG program is listed as "None" under the name. Is this correct?
Could you please provide the screenshot of the AVG Startup Manager, the AVG program is listed as "None" so that we can assist you better?
If you aren't sure on how to take a screenshot please follow the instructions mentioned in this link: http://avgread.me/1aZxsAV and attach the image to this post.
Just in case that you are unaware, you can post the screenshot here in your topic. Click on 'Answer' & then click on the 'Image' [mountain symbol] & follow the instructions.
We can understand that you are looking the startup programs on your AVG PC tuneup program.
The AVG UI shown on the list is the AVG internet security program and on PC tuneup startup program list it will be shown only as AVG UI and not separately as AVG Internet security.
To know about "NONE" program please right click on it and select "Properties" and on the Target please find the path where it is installed.
It will have the program name so by seeing it we can confirm which program it is.
Target Type: Application
Target: "C:\Program Files (x86)\AVG\Av\avuirunnerx.exe" C:\Program Files (x86)\AVG\Av\avgui.exe
Section: Registry\All Users\Run
Also, the target for "AVG Ui (re)Starter is:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\AVG\Framework\Common\avguirnx.exe" /lps=fmw
Please advise. Thank you!
From this we can understand it is for the AVG internet security program and it is not recommended to disable it.
