Performance scan is a joke,nothing more than ADWARE,conning you into paying for a usless add on.Just had an update for my broswer,and RIP OFF AVG said my browser was out of date!!!.
There should be a feature in the program for paid users like myself to turn this CONWARE off.
Hello Elizabeth, Sorry to hear that you are being asked to purchase additional AVG programs. I see that you have bought only AVG Internet security license. You might have installed AVG Trial PC Tuneup in your computer. Please be informed that, once the trial expires, it will prompt to purchase the paid version to fix issues in your computer. We request you to uninstall AVG PC Tuneup from Control panel- Programs list and other AVG programs except AVG Protection and restart your computer to check the status. Please do contact us if you face any difficulties, we will assist you better. Thank you.
We appreciate your patience in this matter. Yes, the "Full computer" scan also check for performance errors. If customer wish to fix the performance errors, it will open up the page to purchase the license for PC TuneUp. This is how the program has been designed. If customer aren't interested then they can ignore the performance error that is displayed.
I've ugraded to V17 and now every scan includes a performance scan. This is 30% of the scan it seems. Can this be turned off? I do not wish to purchase the additional application for performance tuning, and I'm not happy that as a licensed user I have to be nagged to purchase more products after every scan. Thanks.
The versions are very confusing here. Will V16 always have the most up to date software and database? Why did I get upgraded to V17 when I ran my V16 install from 6 months ago? Here's me trying to watch a video this morning, with Info Popups set to 0 duration.
Thanks Rick for the link - do you think the database will be out of date if V16 is used, not V17? I'm worried about limited features for security if it isn't using the latest product. But I'll asume that most users are still on V16.
This is what happened. Last week I noticed that AVG was not updating the software and having an error (this is V16). I tried updating the software a few times and it kept failling. So I uninstalled AVG using Programs and Features, and then installed the version I had downloaded 6 months ago for installing V16. This installed 17, not 16. I've been struggling ever since.
Appearance of pop-ups cannot be changed - only time for which the pop-up is displayed can be adjusted for selected pop-up types. You can try setting up duration for campaign popups for AVG 2017 by following below mentioned instructions: 1. Click the “Menu” button at the top right corner of the AVG Protection window and select “Settings”. 2. Please expand the “Popups” section in the General tab. AVG displays regular popup notifications, 3. You can set different duration for information, update, warning, and alert popups. For example, you may want to disable info and update popups by setting them to “0” .
It is also not recommended to run older versions as the latest version always deliver the best performance and protection. The updates for the older version will be gradually stopped and hence it is always recommended to upgrade to the latest version.

I agree with users above AVG! This is UNWANTED and a pain. I am looking at alternative options. I do not need performance scans. Not to mention, I have noticed updates auto pushing out without options to control this and settings changing over the past year. These little things are adding up
I don't have AVG Trial PC Tuneup anymore. The first scan I conducted said at the end "Hey, we found errors with your PC, try PC Tuneup". So I did, then I was inudated with ads to purchase. So I uninstalled everything using the AVG Clean utility, and now I'm back to normal. But by default it does this scan regardless of if you have the trial version or not.
I just had a lenghty chat with AVG support and sadly this seems to be built into the product and you have no choice but to also have your PC scanned for tuneup and it will always nag you for purchases. Even if you have a license. Even if you don't have the trial tune up product.
I'm trying to use the product ad-free, but it seems no matter how much money you spend, you will always be nagged to purchase something. I'm very disappointed in AVG with this strange marketing decision and will be looking into other products now. I have a license until Oct, but I wonder if there's such a thing as a partial refund.
