Automatic uninstall of programs/applications

Hello Gerald,

We're sorry for the inconvenience caused.
AVG TuneUp - Speed Up component has a feature that scans your PC for unnecessary applications, then allows you to easily remove and uninstall them, freeing up resources for the applications you do use.
If you run this scan & move any programs to trash, they will get automatically uninstalled.
In this case, we'd request you to refer to this article & remove/ignore any programs that may have been moved to trash.
Let us know if you need further assistance.

How do I stop AVG from uninstalling programs/applications and deleting seldom used files?

I've had multiple files removed that I only use as needed, couple be several months or even a year or two, that I have stored on my desktop that have disappeared.
And I have applications that fall under the same, like HP doc scan, that have been removed.

How do I stop AVG from doing this?  I don't have any other system monitoring software installed.
