Thanks.

I am having the same trouble as many others seem to have. AVG ALERT " POWELIKS FOUND ,THREAT REMOVED" keeps popping up every 30 seconds or so. How can it be stopped?

I am also having this issue and would like to resolve this problem

I am having the same issue.  In Results, the Poweliks threat is showing as a Registry value so the above link from Liz did not help.  It appears it keeps detecting it over and over, marking as "Secured" each time, and generating a "Threat Removed" popup in bottom right corner of screen about every 1-3 minutes.

Suggestions?

I am also having the same Problem every 30 secounds & can't get it to stop. I tied the link above & when I try to Install, I keep getting error messages

I have tried all these tools and have had no success at all. Please advise AVG, this issue is ruining functionality of my laptop.

I have the same situation. I am running Widows 10. I even deinstalled and reinstalled AVG. No change about every 30 seconds it comes back. I tried SYMANTICS fix too, no help.

Hello I have the same Poweliks spam issue every now and then, sometimes it stops after i restart my computer but most of the time it spams like every 10 seconds!

Guys, you flag this thread as solved but I don't see the solution.
I have the same problem, every 60 seconds I have the pop-up "poweliks removed" as others users described above.
I need an urgent solution, I can't continue to use my pc!!
Thanks!

Nevermind.  After AVG's Poweliks removal tool did not resolve, I downloaded ESET's Powelik Cleaner utility and it worked!  Popups have stopped.
