Sanford,
We apologize for the difficulties but we appreciate your efforts. We request you to follow the below suggested steps to fix the issue. Is there any other Antivirus program like McAfee or AVG Antivirus program installed on your system? If so, please uninstall it and then we would request you to run the AVG remover tool to remove all the older traces of AVG.
Please reboot your device http://avgclick.me/rebootintosafemode in safe mode, click on this link to run Reset Access tool: http://files-download.avg.com/filedir/util/AVG_ResetAccess.exe and refer this article to uninstall http://avgclick.me/UninstallAVGAV your AVG program.
I've been running Windows 10 for a while now and in the past few days, I've noticed that my AVG Antivirus Free has been disabled and I can't re-enable it. At the same time, I see that Windows Defender is now active - it wasn't previously. I've tried disabling Windows Defender and re-enabling my AVG program but it failed. I've also tried repairing AVG but I received the following error:
Description: General error (0x0426)
Error Code: 0xC0070426
How can I get AVG to work again?
Thank you

Sanford, Just for your info with Win 10 Windows Defender was re-classified as an AntiVirus prog which can conflict with AVG if they are both active on the same system.
Windows Defender is an anti-malware component of Microsoft Windows. It was first released as a free antispyware program download for Windows XP, shipped with Windows Vista and Windows 7 and made into a full antivirus program replacing Microsoft Security Essentials as part of Windows 8 and later versions.

Then kindly remove the AVG folders manually as suggested below. Go to Run window (press windows key and R key simultaneously) and type the following comments to delete the folders.
1. Type “Temp” and press enter, remove all the files.
2. “%temp%” and remove all the files.
3. %appdata% - Remove all the AVG folders.
