Tuneup overwrites licensed winzip version without asking

Hi Martin,

We're glad to look into this & help you.
Would you be so kind to let us know how you found that AVG TuneUp has override the licensed version of Winzip with the non licensed version?

Hi, you explain how the program works, thank you I know that.
The option is switched on by default. What I mean is that there should be a warning whether an installed version shall be overwritten. So such thing is there.
Thank you

Hey, I just waisted hours of time and re-installations of a registered licensed Winzip full version I own before I found out that Tuneup is overwriting my version with the new trial version without asking in my case version 25 overinstalled with 26 which is the newest. Kinda boring and should be fixed: at least system can ask if I want to overwrite a licensed version by a non-licensed trial version.
Thanks

Thank you for sharing the necessary screenshot, Martin.
I'm glad to clarify this to you.
As I checked the screenshot, I could see that the automatic updates has been turned on for the Outdated programs feature in AVG TuneUp.

Note: Once you turn on the 'Update automatically', the outdated programs listed in the AVG TuneUp will be automatically updated. AVG TuneUp will check for, download, and install updates automatically. No action is required from you.

Since you've ignored the WinZip from the Outdated programs, it will not be updated in the future.
For more details, please refer this article.

Hi Martin,

Thank you for writing back to us.
Outdated programs keeps commonly used third-party software updated to eliminate potential security risks and improve the overall performance of your system. To specify how AVG TuneUp responds when it detects an outdated program on your PC, go to Menu ▸ Settings ▸ Update my apps. The following options are available:
Update automatically: checks for, downloads, and installs updates automatically. No action is required from you.
Download only: automatically checks for and downloads available updates, but you need to install them manually.
Just notify me: checks for available updates, but you need to download and install them manually.
If you don't enable Automatic updates, you can manage the download and installation of updates by clicking All functions (the grid icon) on the right side of the AVG TuneUp dashboard and selecting Show outdated programs.
Thank you.

Hi Dinesh, easy enough: I experienced 3 overwrites, tried to fix it by switching off update in Winzip without success. Then I looked at the Tuneup routine "solve problems - program updates", switched WINZIP to "ignore" and the overwrite stopped. Now hat Winzip is in my list of exceptions the problem is solved.switching off winzip update to unregistered version
