My computer has been messed up ever since I installed AVG (paid). My desktop icons disappeared immediately upon installing and I have to go searching for them. I keep getting a message about my performance, which I had no problem with prior to installing AVG. It says I must purchase the tune up to resolve them. REALLY??? AVG put the little annoying glitches there to get you to buy. I will not buy the tune up and sure hope my computer is returned to it's normal state. I'm pretty sure I won't be renewing my subscription in 2019 if this nonsense continues.
Hello Barb,
You have subscribed for AVG Internet Security product which will not cause the situation as you mentioned here.
There are chances for the changes to appear due to optimization done by AVG PC TuneUp program.
Could you confirm whether you have the trial version of PC TuneUp installed on your PC?
To check that, refer this article: http://avgread.me/1DEtNP0 and if you see AVG PC TuneUp in the list, do not uninstall.
Try to access the program by searching for "AVG PC TuneUp" shortcut icon.
If you are able to access the dashboard of it, try restore changes as mentioned (here).
Keep us informed about the status.
