Good morning.  I recently upgraded my Windows 7 PC to Windows 10 Pro with no issues.

I have both AVG AntiVirus and AVG TuneUp and have been using both for about 5 years with no issues.

A few days ago, my AVG TuneUp did an update and I only knew this because a new AVG TuneUp shortcut on my desktop.  Not a big deal except that now my GarminExpress, Itunes, and DropBox no longer work.  I have done full uninstalls and reinstalls of all three and the error remains which tells me that the registry is corrupted in some other way.  I ran a deep scan of my PC and AVG found no issues.  I was able to do a Windows restore to get my Office 365 apps back to working.

In addition, I have AVG TuneUp and AntiVirus on my girlfriend's Windows 7 machine and after the TuneUp update, I am seeing similar errors with her Office products on that machine.  The only common thread between both machines is the AVG software.

The error that I see is "C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe".  However, I can see the file in the directory and I get the same error when I click on the iTunes.exe file directly.  Garmin and DropBox work similarly.

Any thoughts on what this issue might be?
