Questionable links?

I've followed those steps on two occasions now.  removed and reloaded AVG.  It was 6 hours before the UI crashed again (the longest it has gone in months).  The interval before it crashes again is back to 30 minutes to 2 hours.The problem isn't getting it to load.  the buttons in the crashed UI work to restart it after a couple clicks.  But I shouldn't have to do it every couple hours

https://share.avg.com/steam/PSP/AVG2017/AVG_Clear.exe
is given as a link to aid in the fix for AVG UI crashes/fail-to-loads
(and I am still looking for a fix that works!)
My question is this: what is the "steam/PSP" portion?  Why is this not simply out of AVG/support?


Clicked on AVG icon in tool tray ("warning not connected") red mark on icon.  Opened "AVG UI failed to load" window.  Always requires 2 attempts clicking "Restsrt Service"
free version.  Although something flashed up about a trial a couple days ago, which I ignored
thanks

Thank you for the information. Could you please provide me the screenshot http://avgclick.me/getscreenshot of the AVG window or the error message?
