Hi AVG support team,
After downloading the trial version of the AVG tuneup application, I ran the one click maintenance in order to speed up my PC.
Although my PC is faster than before, almost all of my applications have stopped working. From MS Office, Adobe various others.
I get various service not running errors on startup, checking services.msc I can see these services running though (I have tried stopping and restarting). Even AVG tune up itself does not want to work properly anymore, and I can't uninstall it.
The live optimization seems to be working (single click in taskbar), but as soon as I call up the program (Double click) I receive error that AVG tuneup service is currently disabled.
To reiterate key points:
Multiple Services are not working even though they are enabled and show status running (I have tried restarting services)
Various applications (including AVG tuneup) cannot open anymore due to services required not launching.
I cannot uninstall AVG Tuneup - msg when trying is that it has already been uninstalled (which I have not).
I appreciate a prompt response as business is on hold until I can get these applications to work.
Kindest Regards
