Hello Hans,
We are sorry to know that the issue persists. To resolve the issue, we suggest you to uninstall AVG using 'AVG Remover Tool' ( http://aa-download.avg.com/filedir/util/AVG_Remover.exe ). Please restart to complete the uninstalling process. After restarting your computer, 'search' for a folder "AVG Remover"(usually in 'C' drive) and please delete it manually. And then install your AVG program by downloading from http://www.avg.com/us-en/download .Thank you.
Done! It works again. But how long?
