Derrick Robinson Unspecified error occured in the following AVG component(s); -avgwdsvc.exe
My PC recently performed two un-announced AVG 2015 Free edition updates, asking for a reboot after each.
Now, everytime I turn the PC on I get the following error: "Unspecified error occured in the following AVG component(s); -avgwdsvc.exe".
Looking at the archive forum, I found this: https://forums.avg.com/ww-en/avg-forums?sec=thread&act=show&id=206691
Unfortunately, all this suggests is turning off notifications - which is not really fixing the issue.
I'm also a little nervous about the two recent un-announced updates and am wondering if my PC has been compromised. I've carried out a few full AV checks and they come back all okay, as does Microsoft defender.
Any ideas as to what's causing the error?
Kind regards,
Derrick
