Two operations that I cannot locate in the newest free version:-
1] How to temporarily disable AVG since it interferes with System Restore?
2] How to have a full computer scan automatically start every time that I switch on my computer?
Presumably, these two options still exist and I just have not looked in the right places.
Hoping you can help.
P.S. I most definitely preferred the old layout which seemed more user friendly.
Hi Sarath,
Still no response as to whether it is possible to schedule a scan at computer switch on. I have accessed and right clicked the icon but sadly the "Protection is ON" button will not allow me to turn it off!! Why did the features that I am enquiring about work so easily and seamlessly in the old version but not now?
Is it now time for me leave AVG after many happy years?

Hi,
There does not seem to have been any response to my query concerning the possibility of having AVG run a scan at computer switch on. A reply would be much appreciated - thanks.
Kind Regards,

Hello Wayne,
We are really sorry, since we updated our AVG programs to 2017 version, it is not possible to install the older versions of 2015 or 2016. The new version has new enhanced features, you can disable AVG Anti-Virus free using the below instructions :
Open AVG Zen -> Click on Anti-Virus Free -> Click on "Menu" -> Settings -> Disable all components (Resident Shield, Software Analyzer, Email Protection (Disable Until restart)).
You can schedule a scan at a particular time, daily and weekly, click on the link to show how to schedule scan : http://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?urlname=How-to-start-or-plan-a-computer-scan
