Hello Dianne,
Are you referring to the removal of the broken shortcuts? If so please follow the instructions provided below to remove the broken shortcuts using the PC TuneUp program.
Start the AVG Shortcut Cleaner module by going to All functions in the Dashboard and selecting
the Remove broken shortcuts entry under Usage data.
Your interface (Desktop, Start Menu, Quick Launch bar) and the history lists of some programs are checked
for broken shortcuts and entries. This analysis can last several minutes.
After the analysis AVG Shortcut Cleaner shows you a list of all broken shortcuts and references. If no broken
entries have been found, you will only receive a list of the places that were searched. In this case, click Close
to exit this function.
You decide whether to delete all broken shortcuts or not. Clear the checkboxes of those invalid references
that you do not want to delete. The standard setting is for all invalid references to be deleted.
Hello David,
It is by default that some programs create shortcut icons on desktop. During the installation of many programs, you may be prompted with the option 'Create desktop icon'. Choosing this option will create the shortcut icon and the purpose is for easy access of your programs. AVG PC Tune Up does not create desktop shortcut icons for other programs. Uninstalling some programs may leave behind some broken shortcuts in your computer. AVG PC Tune Up offers the feature of removing such broken shortcuts, temporary files and so improving the performance of your computer. Thank you.
How do I remove the shortcut arrows the AVG tuneup put back on?
Click Cleanup. The cleanup process normally lasts just a few seconds. Afterwards you receive a short status
report on the number of references and shortcuts removed.
Click Finish to exit AVG Shortcut Cleaner
