AVG Internet Security Trial Issue

Hello, I have been using the AVG FREE ANTIVIRUS for years. And then I accidentally installed the free version (trial) of the internet security. Now that the trial is over, I cannot access the functions of the standard antivirus anymore and I cannot scan my computer anymore because it says that I have to pay for this extra option and it doesn't let me access the normal functions. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the AVG FREE Antivirus program twice and am still unable to run the normal functions as it keeps asking me to buy the trial. I see in the other community posts that someone else is having the same problem ( see Marghrita Maria De Lorenzi's post). I'm pretty disappointed in the AVG product right now… Can you help?? Your help would be greatly appreciated. 

Hello E Lohnes,
I'm sorry to hear about this. I request you to remove AVG completely along with any previous traces using the AVG clear tool/AVG Remover tool and then do a fresh installation of AVG Free Antivirus 2017. This will ensure that none of the previous traces of AVG are left on your computer and you have an updated version. (1/2)
