AVG FREE auto open

Until this morning, when I uninstalled it because I apparently accidentally did something that installed ZEN, I had AVG FREE. I set it in STARTUP (msconfig) to open with WIndows, and it did, performing scheduled tasks, etc.I did not open it from the tray or icon. I then downloaded AVG without ZEN (see my question about that in this forum), I set it in STARTUP, as before, but it doesn't seem to open unless I do so from the icon.

How do I set AVG Free to open when Windows 7 opens?

So you have "improved" AVG by making users do something manually that used to be done automatically, to save some system resource. I suggest you consider user resource. You also made ZEN (almost) mandatory, though comments indicate single user, non-network, people don't like ZEN. I know it's free, but you want users to upgrade, and they won't if the don't like the basic version/

Hello Len,
We do understand your concern. However, please be informed that AVG will not open automatically. In this case, when your computer startup, you can open the AVG program from the system tray notification icon or desktop icon and use the same.
Thank you.

Hello Len,
We do understand your concern. However, after the recent update from AVG, more system resource utilizing features from AVG is removed. so that it will be simple to use. The AVG will not open automatically, to open the same, you need to click on the AVG icon from the system tray.
Thank you
