Hello Sander,
I regret for the inconvenience. Please be informed that the AVG Internet Security got updated to latest version and in the latest version, this product is included with the AVG Dashboard. It seems that you are installing the older version of AVG and it keeps updating to latest version. To fix this issue, I suggest you to install the latest version of AVG Internet Security http://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?urlname=Download-and-install-AVG-AntiVirus-Internet-Security-or-Premium-Security and check if that fix the issue. If you face any difficulties, feel free to contact us.
"I write a lot for college I decided to clean the whole PC" . I also write many academic papers and it happens that laptop slows down. If the laptop starts to work slowly, pay attention to whether there is a lot of free space on the hard drive. On the system partition should remain free 12-15% of the total. You can fill in more space, but then there will be “brakes” because fragments of the file table will begin to decompose into free sectors of the disk, the search of which will take longer.
Hey Karthikeyan,
I just noticed that the AVG internet security I installed via your link is the free-trail version (at the bottom of the AVG dashboard it says I have 24 days left), while I entered the licence number of the premium version.
Did I do something wrong?
Sander,
Thank you for letting us know. You're most welcome.

Hello everyone!
I have a peculiar problem which I think is caused by an AVG program.
Problem:
Out of nowhere (when I am watching a Youtube video, playing a videogame, or when the PC is asleep) there appears a pop-up will appear saying Windows Defender is turned off. Then internet explorer will stop working, claiming it has security issues, while Chrome seems to work just fine.
The whole PC will also slow down. Programs take much longer to open.
Then on the dashboard a new AVG icon appeared leading to "AVG dashboard", while I have only installed AVG internet security (not free AVG, if that's relevant).
When opening the AVG user interface for AVG internet security it claims I am not protected, and the circle for software protection is completely red. Attempting to repair it fails, sending me to the support page.
Temporary solution:
I managed to temporarily solve the issue by uninstalling AVG internet security, then using the AVG cleaner, and lastly using the AVG remover. After that I reinstall AVG internet security and it will work again.
Unfortunately every single day the problem reoccurs and I have to go through the process again, which is quite annoying and time consuming.
Possibly relavant information:
Not sure if this is important information, but a few weeks ago I noticed my laptop was getting slow, and since I write a lot for college I decided to clean the whole PC. After deleting some redundant files and cleaning the cache it was still slow, so I downloaded AVG Tune-Up for it's free trail. It came up with almost 1300 problems after sever hours of analysing. After it had solved the problems I uninstalled AVG Tune-Up A short while after that (not immediately, but a day or something) the problem started.
I hope anyone can help me with this issue.

I am sorry to hear that AVG program shows as "Trial". Please open the AVG Internet Security->Menu->About->Subscription. From here you can see your license number, please delete the license number and reenter the same and check if the AVG program gets activated to pro version.
