Rich E Please give option to uninstall or not load ZEN for AVG Free
I don't have a subscription to AVG, I use the free version as it meets all my needs for protection.
One of the reasons I went with AVG free many years ago was that it had very little impact on my system. I even use the custom install and don't install specific email protection or extra languages.
I can see where Zen would be great for those with many devices protected by AVG.
However, I only have ONE computer that is protected by AVG so I really don't need or want those extra Zen features loading up, filling up, bogging down, my computer.
PLEASE give us an option to uninstall just the Zen part of AVG. It'd be nice to have an option in the custom install NOT to load it as well.
If this isn't something management will do, or at least look into, how can I reload an older 2015 version (download that installer from somewhere?) without Zen, and disable the automatic updating?
Thank you.

The Zen part was something that came up daily as an update (or upgrade, sorry, I don't recall exactly which), but I couldn't find a way to decline. I'd already uninstalled AVG 2015, removing AVG in the programs list, then re-downloaded and installed the free one from the website and got them both back again.
I can't uninstall just the one called AVG, but when I uninstall AVG 2015, it apparently uninstalls the other.
I'm downloading the other installer per your link and will let you know how it goes.
Rich
Then, using installer downloaded from above from ShriThillak, I reinstalled AVG 2015 Free and so far no Zen, and no popups telling me I need to upgrade.
Since I have turned many of my friends and family onto AVG Free, they'll most likely be asking me to do this on their systems as well.
So... is there somewhere I can d/l the 32 and 64 bit full installers so no need to re-download when installing on several systems?
Thank you for excellent product and your help.
Is there a code in the installer files that will tell me if this is just AVG 2015 that won't bug me to install Zen?
It's only been a day since I've uninstalled AVG Free (required b4 uninstalling Zen), rebooted as requested, then uininstalled Zen, so I don't know if this has "fixed" the problem of getting regular (at least daily) reminders/requests to "upgrade" AVG (not specifying Zen at that point, only after telling it to go ahead with the upgrade so you find out it's a Zen install).
I'll post again in a week or so and let you know if the Zen upgrade reminders start popping up again.
Thanks,
Rich
If you're read this whole thread, you'd know that I understand and have no problem with the popups as a legitimate campaign to have folks use/add new features/additional parts of AVG.
Normally, the popups have a decline option, and are advertised as something extra.
This is different, it's advertised as an upgrade to AVG, not an add on. And it IS an add on.
It's an add on that a person with a single computer and no smartphone/tablet/etc. has no use for at all.
Or, are you saying that at some point the pops saying AVG needs to upgrade will stop if I keep closing the pop up window?
After some research (it's not at all obvious), apparently the new name for the free version of AVG is "AVG Protection Free", which includes Zen. Frankly, the works "protection free" implies to me that there iis NO protection included, or it's "free" of protection. Perhaps your marketing folks should revisit this, AVG Free Protection would be a LOT more clear.
So again, I ask and implore AVG to continue to provide AVG, free or otherwise, as a standalone product for those of us who have no use for the Zen interface.
Thank you.
I mentioned NOTHING about AVG Internet Security, so have NO idea why you'd say I'm getting ads for it.
I give up.
If the pop ups _FOR_ZEN_ don't either stop at some near time, and don't give me an option to decline, after many, many (10+) years of recommending AVG to any and all of my friends and computer clients, I'll be researching another lightweight (not system bogging, behemoth of an antivirus) for them.
Good luck with your campaign, apparently my inability to make myself clear on the problem as I see it and constructively suggested alternatives has made continuing this thread pointless. I'm not only disappointed with the forcing of Zen on AVG users that have NO need for it, but at the lack of understanding from AVG support of the issue.
Can I say Rich I feel your pain. I have been following your thread because like you I got a pop up that said AVG Free needs updating which I clicked thinking it was the usual updates and the only difference was I didn't install Zen as I looked at the installation thing and saw it was installing something called Zen so I cancelled it as it was nothing I had heard of and when I googled I thought nah don't want nor need that. I do have other equipment but I don't like this synching thing partly because on some things I have different settings anyway..
Then like you every day after stopping the install I would get the AVG needs updating pop up..
I followed the instructions form Komal [who at least seemed to have a grasp of your problem unlike the other guy] to uninstall AVG Free, restart PC and reinstall it using the link for Win 7 64 bit PC and thought I'll see if that stops the pop up.. then waited to see if yours had as well.. So far mine has stopped but as you say it did not resemble a marketing pop up at all it is a misleading pop up that it makes it look like your Virus DB needs updating, which it doesn't, it is a sneaky way of getting you to install something you don't want and only for a trial period too by the sounds of it. .
Huge Con ....
Wow. I find this horrifying. First, just the cluelessness of the support people (other than Komal and ShriThillak), they must just be either marketing shills to divert people from uninstalling the marketing-ware Zen, or just having the typical HORRIFIC English skills of 3am India support.
But more importantly, I fix computer for a living for people. I switch them away from the bloatware of McAfee and Norton BECAUSE of this very type of thing, where the anti-virus program behaves like a virus itself, constantly pestering and misleading the user to buy products, now not only for one machine, but for many, under the GUISE of Zen 'managing' their devices AND not allowing itself to be removed or shut off!! YOU PEOPLE HAVE GONE OVER TO 'THE DARK SIDE'!
PLEASE, _back off_ of this slippery slope! You've gone too far! Yes, I understand you have to make money and I WANT you to, so you are still around. But to adopt the tactics not only of your AWFUL competition, but of VIRSUES and MALWARE itself?? Come up and breath the fresh air and rekmember your beginnings and purpose. Rethink this Zen thing. Make it an option, repurpose it to be TRULY what you say it is or get rid of it even better!
This thread and others are SO distrubing to me. I literally have instaled THOUSANDS of coipies of AVG over the years and my customers have loved you. NOW I am getting complaints!! People think its a virus diguised as AVG and are UNINSTALLING IT! Others see it as the bloatware/ADWARE it is becoming and uninstalling it and going BACK to McAwful and igNorton!
You're killing you golden goose!

It is indeed disappointing when you have to contact us multiple times about the same issue but I’ll find the quickest way to get this resolved for you at the earliest.

Sorry to hear about the inconvenience caused to you. Please have a look at this article http://avgread.me/1LrSUsb to change the appearance of the AVG windows. Thank you.
Rich E, I wish to thank you for your effort in this thread. I have been out of the country for a while and came back to my two computer home network, each of two PCs running AVG Free, and saw a pop up that looked like a regular update notice. Unfortunately, I clicked on it on my wife's computer first and then on mine and both had a time fighting about the update ... somewhere along the way, only my wife's computer was "successful" with the ZEN update. And it was as you said, a monster and all attempts to just uninstall it were unsuccessful. (My computer was unsuccessful in its install of ZEN so it has not been a problem.)
Finally, I was able to uninstall AVG first and then uninstall AVG ZEN ... however, when I tried to reinstall just AVG, the "Basic" selection box insluded a second check mark for ZEN and there was no way to get just the old basic free version back.
Fortunately, my search found this thread and the reference given above at the beginning of this thread:
http://www.avg.com/download-file-dm-afh
This worked perfectly and now I have two separate AVG 2015 Free old versions working independantly on the two computers.
I must mention that I am on a metered HughesNet internet connection so I must watch my usage carefully. The ZEN stuff is out of bounds for AVG ... I have been installing it on literally hundreds of computers for friends and I hope that they find this thread as well.
Thanks again for a careful and thorough and patient conversation with AVG. I hope they see the error of their ways. [There is no need for shouting and cursing ... it does not good.]
www.avg.com/download and click on the "More options" present on the right side of AVG Anti-Virus free to get links to install AVG Free for 32 bit and 64 bit operating system.
Rich E
and she said I can disable program update schedule and keep virus definition schedule enable, then I won't get auto program update, but I will need to keep an eye in this page :http://www.avg.com/ww-en/download-update-2014. and manually update some new core update. She said this may work, but if not working, I will need to download AVG 2016 free version without Zen, that's the link you posted.
Thank you.
With an older computer, it's VITAL that you run the latest antivirus program and keep it updated and definitions updated. Running an older/out of date antivirus is essentially worthless. I'm a computer expert, having gotten my computer science degree in 1973, and having been in the personal computer world since mid 1980s.
oh forgot the link: http://www.avg.com/ca-en/download.prd-afh-free
choose AVG_Antivirus_Free_x64_693.exe (without Zen)
AVG_Antivirus_Free_692.exe (with Zen)
am I corrrect?
Thank you for replying us back. You can download the offline installation's of the AVG 2016 version using the link's you have mentioned.
Please feel free to contact us for further assistance.
Thank you.
You DEFINITELY want the full installer!!!!!
Second, the 2016 version has little impact on system resources. I run it on a very old W7 Pro system, Pentium 4, 3.0Ghz, and it has little to no affect unless you're moving lots (1,000s) of files so it rechecks each one as you copy/move it. You really should keep the latest versions and virus definitions, again, especially on an older system.. Way better to stop a newer virus than to recover from infection. I hope you have good, regular, and duplicate backups.
If you use the full installer, you will NOT get Zen, nor will you get upgraded to Zen, at least for now. And considering the flack AVG has had over it, I hope they will continue to offer Zen free versions.
Thank you Rich E and Kshore! I have downloaded 64 bit one in that page, it's a huge file 205 mb. I guess this is a full installer, because I saw the first one is call avg antivirus free (recommended), only has 2 mb. Is that with Zen? Then second one and third one are 32 bit and 64 bit, these 2 are full installer and without Zen?
My system is Intel Pentium Dual core E5800 3.2 Ghz, 4 GB Ram, but the technician told me that my system cannot install new softwares anymore because the cpu cannot support and cannot upgrade the ram. AVG eats up my ram memory when scanning and after scanning my ram memory only has less than 1.8 GB remains, so it's easily to have memory dump and make tthe window 7 stopped working. I hope this 2016 antivirus free ver without Zen doesn't have this problem. And I don't understand the fix performance function in avg 2016, it said I have 8.08 GB errors and after I opened it, it shows me the errors I don't understand. Not like "Fix performance" in 2014 ver. only 3 errors and I understand what kind of error is that.
Today I turned on my compuuter and have the avg update, no zen install to my computer, this is weird. Maybe I disabled the program update schedule. It only updated the definitions.
We have provided the offline installer link to download the normal AVG free antivirus without Zen to you. The offline installer will be of huge file size. Only this offline installer link will install the AVG free antivirus without Zen, the recommended installer file will install the Zen program because we have launched the campaign to know about our latest Zen program. I assure you that our AVG program won't consume much of the CPU usage. If you face any issues please do let us know. Since you have installed the normal AVG free antivirus program now you won't be having the Zen for it.
Please feel free to contact us should you need any assistance.
I would like to know that if there is Zen in this avg 2016 free download page?
http://www.avg.com/ww-en/free-antivirus-download
And I have AVG antivirus 2014 free version installer (a normal one also), how come it will install Zen after I installed this free version a day or 3 days later?
Please be informed that we have our latest version of AVG 2016 version with us right now and we don't have other version right now.

I understand that you are happy to use and stick with the version AVG 2014. Please share your valuable feedback by clicking on the following link http://avgread.me/1RLrGlQ .Thank you.
This Zen will get installed when you click on the upgrade button on the legitimate business campaign from AVG. It is launched to know about our latest zen programs. So in your case and for your sister this same should have happened and you will get the business campaign popup from AVG even if you reinstall the program. These cannot be stopped and if you aren't interested to try the latest version then please ignore such popups and continue with the program that you have installed.
Please feel free to contact us should you need any assistance.
I understand how something like this can really try your patience. We understand that you need the older 2014 version to be installed in your pc. After the latest update of AVG 2016 version we don't have option to go back to the older version right now and the only version available with us right now is AVG 2016. Please share your valuable feedback by clicking on the following link http://avgread.me/1RLrGlQ . To install AVG 2016 Antivirus free without installing Zen in your pc we request you to run the offline installation.
Thank you for understanding.
This is AVG antivirus 2016 free without Zen, correct? And is it no expiry date? Because some of my friends told me that this offline and without Zen version only has 1 year protection free, after the expiry date, I will need to paid or download a 2017 or 2018 version. It's not free like before.
Please be informed that the link provided is to download and install AVG Antivirus is for free and we don't charge for it. And it has the normal AVG Antivirus interface without AVG Zen. I request you to use the offline download to install your AVG free version.
Please feel free to contact us for any further assistance. Thank you.
We would request you to uninstall AVG 2014 before installing AVG 2016. We would request you to run AVG remover tool based on your OS (32-bit or 64-bit) to completely remove AVG and then re install.

I sincerely apologize for the difficulties you are currently experiencing.
Could you please let me know whether you have tried the remover tool to uninstall AVG Zen from your pc given by Avinash Seshaiah .
So that we can assist you better.
Please feel free to contact us for any further assistance. Thank you.
is that logice to reinstall avg to avoid this Annoying popup in 20 laptop, and your removal tool didn't work please stop this boring update
For those of you, who can't get rid of "The Zen Feature", try run the provided AVG Uninstaller for Zen -> remove eventually ini. file -> run Ccleaner (check settings to remove AVG leftovers) -> restart pc -> download offline installer, and it should work. If not........I doubt, there's a cure.
Geez, what a deroute for TuneUp Utilities 2012 (e.g.) Happy New Year everybody.
Could you please explain your issue with AVG briefly so that we can assist you better?
Jim, Have a look @ user Marc C Black posting (https://support.avg.com/answers?id=906b00000008pKPAAY).

We apologize for the inconvenience caused.
Zen is our newly launched concept and to create awareness about it to our customers we have launched a campaign that whenever customer tries to download AVG free antivirus from website they will get only this Zen version downloaded.
Also if you have our free version of AVG antivirus program installed you will keep getting the legitimate business campaign to try the trial version of AVG Internet Security and other AVG programs. These popups couldn't be stopped as it is the only way of marketing our products.
We request our customers to ignore such popups if they aren't interested to try the trial version or other AVG programs.
If you wish to have only the normal AVG free antivirus without Zen we can help you with that.
You have to remove AVG Zen using the AVG remover tool and install free antivirus using the offline installer.
http://aa-download.avg.com/filedir/util/AVG_Remover.exe
2) Run the downloaded tool and follow the instructions displayed on your screen.
3) Your computer will be restarted automatically. After the restart, AVG Remover will finish the uninstallation.
NOTE: Once the AVG Remover Tool has done with its process. Please go to the C drive and look for a folder named as "AVG Remover" and I request you to delete it manually.

I understand wanting to market your products, but it is way just to aggressive. literally every time i turn my pc on, or wake it from sleep i get at least 2 different pop ups. every time without fail, even if i click 'no thanks'. its hard to ignore them when they are constantly popping up interrupting what i'm doing, often happening multiple times a day.
Having to do an offline intsall should not be the solution. I will try what you suggested, but why can't you just make an option under customize when installing to uncheck zen if your customers don't want it? my guess is most people with the free version don't bother making an account, and zen seems more geared toward those with subscriptions, who probably have to create an account when they sign up for it.
We apologize for the inconvenience caused.
Our customers may get legitimate campaign pop-ups to promote our product which has advanced features. Please note that these pop-ups are temporary. Since our customers felt it as annoying, we have already escalated such cases to the concerned department and they are working on it. AVG carefully monitors the quality of our products and the service we provide, therefore all feedback from our customers is important to us. Submit your valuable feedback in http://www.avg.com/us-en/product-feedback and our development team will see to this and will fix it in the upcoming updates.

I am wondering if I installed the installation file from my computer which I downloaded a few month ago today, will Zen included? Because I set up another topic about no virus definition updates for AVG 2014 free only since oct 05, and today it just updated in the morning but no more, other versions still have update to Iavi: 13173, but avg 2014 still in Iavi: 13169
Thank you for reaching out to us with your concerns. You can download and install your older version of AVG without Zen, but due to the arrival of new threats and infections we have updating our AVG security program with high new security patches and updates to enhance the computer security. We always recommend you to install our latest version of AVG program from our official website http://www.avg.com/us-en/download because virus definition updates will no longer available for older versions. Thank you for your understanding.
Hi
So you mean I still can install the AVG 2016 free without zen from the link: http://files-download.avg.com/inst/mp/AVG_Antivirus_Free_x64_693.exe? I have downloaded one a few months ago and want to install it at the end of this year, if it's without Zen, I will install it later. I don't need Zen for my computer because I don't have ipad and laptop connect to my computer.
I also found that there is no new virus definition update for AVG 2014 free version, it stopped update on Oct 5, but yesterday it has new updates, and today it has no updates again. I have checked other versions, they all have new virus definition updates today, I am wondering why there is no updates for 2014 version today again.
you can see the following pages, only avg 2014 free version doesn't have any update, others have:
http://www.avg.com/ww-en/download-update-2013 (have new virus definition updates today, Iavi:13178)
http://www.avg.com/ww-en/download-update-2014 (no new virus definition updates today, Iavi:13169)
http://www.avg.com/ww-en/download-update-2015.tpl-stdfull (have new virus definition updates today, Iavi:13178)
http://www.avg.com/ww-en/download-update.tpl-stdfull (2016, have new virus definition updates today, Iavi:13178)
would you please take a look and fix it? It said end support after Dec 31, 2016, not now. Please keep virus definition updates everyday for 2014 version until Dec 31 as it said, Thank you!
I just want to know that I have downloaded an AVG 2016 free without Zen version from this link , http://files-download.avg.com/inst/mp/AVG_Antivirus_Free_x64_693.exe a few months ago. If I install it now, it will install 2016 free without Zen version or it will install 2017 version? Because I heard that we need to pay and register for the product from now on. If this file I downloaded was 2016 free without Zen and a free version, I will definitely install it now or later. Thank you!
Thank you for your patience.
We keep you informed that in AVG 2016 can be installed as 30 days trail with AVG ZEN as interface. Since you have mentioned that you need to register is nothing but to create AVG MY Account using your email id. Once it has been registered please try to login with AVG protection free to get the basic protection. If you are facing any installation issues please let me know we are here to help you. Thank you.
I have downloaded this 2016 free edition without Zen a few months ago, AVG_Antivirus_Free_x64_693.exe. If I install it now, it will install AVG 2016 free without Zen, am I correct? Because another technical person in this forum told me that this will install the free version, not 30 days trial version. He said this is an offline installation file and will not install Zen , I just want to make sure who is correct! Thanks!
Please be informed that the AVG Free edition without the AVG Zen interface is no longer available for the download. We would request you to install the updated AVG Free program so that your PC will be more protected than before.
Thank you.
Hi
I don't know why some technical persons in this forum keep saying it's no longer available for download. I have already told you I have already downloaded on May, I have the installation file, the exe file, 255mb. And I also have tried the link, it's still available for downloading, it opened a window and have a save file button. I have also use this exe file to install AVG 2016 free version without Zen successfully, it has no Zen and virus definition file is up to date now, Iavi: 13685. But 2014 version still in 13681.
Please try the link before you told people that it's not working or no longer available for download
http://files-download.avg.com/inst/mp/AVG_Antivirus_Free_x64_693.exe
