Once again, the issue has returned.
It went away for quite awhile, but now it's back.
I saw there was an update, but that did not resolve the issue. I'm going to uninstall and look for alternatives products.

Hi AP.
Appreciate your patience.
It looks like we need a few more details from you to analyze the situation.
What is the name of the game that you play? Is it an online or offline game and which operating system are you using?
What kind of pop ups are you seeing from AVG AntiVirus free when you play the game?
I recently started trying AVG (free version) and encounter the same problem - evey so often, AVG will temporarily steal focus. There is no time to take a screenshot. Hard to believe this has been a recurring issue for years and apparently is unresolved. Will uninstall and try a different product.

As I pointed out before, this has been a known issue for years, and looking back at previous posts about this, the response has always been "the issue is being escalated".
Why has this bug not been completely removed from any code? It seems the issue sometimes gets fixed in an update, but then it comes back after another update.

AVG AntiVirus Free is stealing focus from my apps again. It's most noticeable when I'm playing a game in full screen, then my game minimizes and I have to go back into my game.
This has been a known issue for years. Why has this not permanently been fixed yet?
Here is an example from my focus logger:
8688:C:\Users\xxx\Desktop\focus.exe | Mon Apr 27 09:10:48 2020
11752:C:\Program Files (x86)\AVG\Antivirus\AVGUI.exe | Mon Apr 27 09:57:56 2020
8688:C:\Users\xxx\Desktop\focus.exe | Mon Apr 27 09:57:57 2020
I have Do Not Disturb turned on. I've restarted. Every time I reinstall, the issue comes back eventually.
If I have to uninstall it again, I'm not bothering with reinstalling it. FIX THIS ISSUE.
And it happens again today. Please, this is a job for your software developers to tackle, not for your paying end users.

Same issue, very irritating when dragging something with a mouse and AVGUI.EXE steals focus temporarily (with no visible popup).

To be honest, I expected no response. This issue has been raised over and over and users seem to get the same run-around. By now, your techs have descriptions, version numbers, logs, and such screenshots as are possible. I think the issue is in their hands.
