I went into my account and downloaded AVG, probably for the second time from earlier in the year. This time it installed AVG browser which I don't want. I uninstalled from the list of app and programmes and now 99% of my desktop shortcuts don't work.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled but still not working. What do I do now?
At least I can access from Edge
Can't even add a new shortcut
