Don't download avg

I installed this application to my hard drive hoping that it would be good for protection. Right after installing to my hard drive, it corrupted it and proceded to delete everything in it. AVG asked me if it should be deleted, I pressed no, then it said I had no Administrator privelages to say no. WHAT THE HECK, IM THE ONLY USE ON THIS COMPUTER WHICH MEANS I HAVE ADMINISTRATOR PRIVELAGES. Then i just uninstalled AVG hoping it wouldn't delete my Hard Drive. Little did I know after I pressed the restart button AVG told me to do after the unistall proccess my hard drive was completely erased. I want compensation NOW.

I was running a free version, and now my hard drive is completely unusable. Your program corrupted it to a point where I can't even access it anymore.

Alright, with AVG Antivirus free you can just scan for threats and it won't delete any of your files without your permission. However, we suggest you to do a system restore to recover all the files from your hard drive.

If you are running windows 10 on your PC, please follow the below instructions and do a system restore:

1.   Open System Restore, search for system restore in the Windows 10 Search box and select Create a restore point from the list of results. …

2.    Enable System Restore.

3.    Restore your PC.

4.    Open Advanced start-up.

5.    Start System Restore in Safe Mode.

6.    Open Reset this PC.

7.    Reset Windows 10, but save your files.

8.    Reset this PC from Safe Mode.

If you are running a different operating system on your PC, please let us know to help you further.
