Hi Gaston,

We will help you to restore the files from data safe. Please follow the below instructions to restore the data safe files:


- uninstall version 18.6 from control panel( Do not use AVG remover)
- restart your PC
- install version 18.3 from offline file (x64): https://share.avg.com/steam/PSP/AVG2017/18-3-avg_internet_security_setup_offline.exe
- Choose custom installation – check Data Safe
- right after the installation is complete go to Privacy section and create new Data Safe (should be worked without restart).
- export the necessary data and try program upgrade (AVG Internet Security > Menu > settings > Update). Update both program and virus definitions and the program will be updated to the latest version (18.6)

Note: Data safe feature is no longer available with the latest AVG Internet Security version.

Thanks,

Hi, 

I had a DATA SAFE VAULT (.avgfv file extension) that I need to open. However this option doesnt appear any longer on the program.

Is there any way that i could get access to my files?
