AVG Free with OUT ZEN? AVG Paid with OUT ZEN?

Hi John,
We apologize for the issue caused to you and we will explain you in detail. The AVG Has released the 2017 updated version, in this you can only use the AVG free Antivirus with AVG zen. If you need to get the AVG protection without AVG zen you need to go for AVG Internet Security. If you need any further assistance, please feel free to contact us.

Thank you.

I have paid subscription for AVG Server on a couple servers, works fine.  I have used AVG free for years with out issue, until ZEN.  Zen causes more unnecessary interruptions, uses more memory, more processor time, and causes more errors. I've never found it useful, always problem.  There has been work arounds that get rid of ZEN, but it always comes back. I'm considering getting rid of both my free and paid AVG products because of all the hassle of ZEN and it's needless resource consuming.  I have stopped recommending AVG entirely to friends and colleagues since ZEN.  I would get the paid version for these PC's if I could be guaranteed no ZEN. Does AVG paid give the option to do away with ZEN and run AVG lean as most people want it?  Is there any way to currently get rid of ZEN?. Please do not refer back to last years articles which contain conflicting and outdated information. I finally decided to post after years of frustration with ZEN.
