After happily using AVG anti virus (free) on my WIN7 for a couple of years I was prompted to use the offered AVG PC tune up (trial) … Firstly … 'AVG PC tune up' removed a whole suite of audio plugins (NI Komplete) from my 'Installed Software' list (in 'Program and Features') and I am no longer able to update them from the manufacturers website … I'm now also unable to remove 'AVG PC tune up' from my system … I now get constant reminders that my system needs further 'tuning up' but I have no wish to use the software.
Since then I have upgraded to WIN10 and now find 'AVG Watchdog' running before my standard bootup (about one in three boot ups). Seems like unwanted AVG software has made it's way in to my computer and I would like to find out how I can remove it … ironically it's behaving like an unwanted virus.
What can I do to clear my system of these unwanted AVG applications? … and possibly, restore the missing plug in listings without doing a complete reinstall of all these plug ins?
Thank you for your reply. I'm using AVG 2015 (Free). I'll carry out your instructions in the coming days and get back to you. Your assistance is much appreciated.
