Unable to delete .pdf files

Same problem here, without using AVG Internet Security, only the free AVG Antivirus. No workaround seems to help resolve the issue

Hello Anthony,
My apologies for the inconvenience caused. We are aware about the issue. Our development team is working on a fix. The issue will be fixed automatically soon.
Regards,
Alok.

I am trying to delete .pdf files, but get the message 'this action can't be completed because the file is open in AVG antivirus'
I have switched off the antivirus and tried, but to no avail.

I'm having this problem as well. My virus definitions are up to date, and when I instructed the software to update itself it indicated that it also is up to date. Following is the exact error I get.

Please fix this quickly.

Thank you.

Hello Shane, 

Our developers are working hard to find the permanent solution. Your patience & support is much appreciated. We request you to disable Senstive Data Shield components and then try to delete your PDF files. 

Go to Internet Security -> Privacy -> Sensitive Data Shield -> Open -> Settings at the bottom left corner to disable it.

This is ridiculous. This post is 5 days old and the issue still has not been resolved.

I have updated my virus definitions, and I still cannot delete PDF folders.

How long is this going to continue?

This app has bothered me.
I can not open an application I buy with $ 29
