Ever since I installed AVG, I can't write to my USB stick.  How do I resolve this?


Here are some steps to help you resolve this issue:
Check AVG Settings:
Open AVG and navigate to its settings.
Look for any features related to USB drives or removable devices.
Disable any settings that might be blocking write access to USB drives.
Temporarily Disable AVG:
Try temporarily disabling AVG to see if it's indeed the cause of the issue.
If you can write to the USB stick while AVG is disabled, it suggests that AVG might be blocking access.
Examine USB Drive Properties:
Right-click on your USB drive in File Explorer.
Go to "Properties" and check if the drive is set to "Read-only."
If it is, uncheck the "Read-only" option and apply the changes.
Scan for Malware:
It's important to ensure that your USB drive is not infected with malware that could be interfering with AVG.
Run a full scan on your USB drive using AVG to make sure it's clean.
Update AVG:
Ensure that you are using the latest version of AVG. Outdated antivirus software can sometimes cause compatibility issues.
If an update is available, install it and see if the problem persists.
