After a recent encounter with IDP.Generic malware, AVG Internet Security launches but crashes immediately after loading. Have uninstalled and reinstalled program twice - same result: AVG launches but immediately crashes. Task Manager (Windows 10) indicates AVG Internet Security is running, bur tray icon disappears when mouse hovers over it.

Have run several anti-malware programs and all report no malware present.

Any ideas about fixing this issue?

Thanks.
