AVG Zen problem

I have AVG internet Security on my window s 10 PC and 2 Android devices with AVG Pro. Everything worked fine until 2 weeks ago. Each component says it is working fine and protecting its device but on the Zen/Dashboard whilst each device is shown it says that each device is unprotected and AVG is not installed. I spent 2 hours today with Support uninstalling everything, cleaning the pC and reinstalling everything. Whilst everything is shown nothing is obviously communicating with each other except to acknowledge the existence of the other devices. It's weird and I don't know what's happening. Any ideas

Hello Paul,
I'm sorry to hear about this. Please be informed that we have released an updated version of  AVG Internet Security 2017. As per our previous conversation, we had reinstalled AVG Internet Security - unlimited on your one of the computer. Please let us know if you have reinstalled AVG Internet Security for all your computer (10 computers and 2 android devices) (which is recommended to have an updated version of AVG). If not, then please reinstall AVG Internet Security for your all other computers also.
Best regards,
Alok.

I have done all that via Support who uninstalled AVG  with removal tools and we reinstalled AVG on my main PC ( there is only 1, it runs Windows 10) and on my 2 Tablets and 1 phone..
PC Dashboard and AVG Zen on each device show all devices present but if I click on a device it says AVG not installed and directs me to a download site. AVG on each device is working correctly but I cannot control any device from another or see what state it is in so they are not communicating.

Paul,
I would like to appreciate your efforts and patience. I request you remove the android device from the Zen network (on your PC) and reconnect it back to the same Zen Network and check the situation.

I removed a Tablet from network. I tried to reconnect it but it doesn't show. Also I see on my Android devices that Data Sync for AVG is disabled and I cannot enable it. All permissions for the app are green but it will not sync.

Thank you for checking it for us, Paul.
I would once again like to assure you that this is just a sync issue in Zen interface and it will not affect performance of AVG apps on your devices. Please contact our android support team ( http://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?urlname=How-to-contact-support-through-the-Mobile-Contact-Form ) for further assistance.

Paul, I assume that your problem was never sorted. I went through the same pain as you did and they never managed to get it to work.

Hello Malcolm,

I am sorry to know that your issue with AVG devices added to Zen network still persists.
I see that you have already posted about this issue in community: https://support.avg.com/answers?id=906b0000000DoIt and got assistance through email.
The case was then escalated to senior technical team and the last steps that was provided by the team is to uninstall AVG in android device, remove the device from zen and then send invitation to add Android device again. There is no further contact or information we received from your end.
Since the issue still persists, please let us know whether you have installed AVG Ultimate 2016  version on your PC or the latest 2017 version.
