I scanned my pc with zip files and all files scan option. Then after popups, I had to uninstall the product. But I think it was not a completely successful uninstall (not sure). My zip files 1GB to 1 kb reduces (example file sizes). Also same applies to video files like mp4. Some files lost (not sure, I had .m extensioned matlab files and I cannot find some of them). How can I restore my files? This was the free edition.
I observe that all corrupted files are modified at same date. 25 March 2020. How can I see uninstall or virus scan dates of a previous install. Also, is it possible to determine which program modifies a file?
Hi Aap,
Could you be more specific with the issue also by providing the screenshot(s).
You can post the screenshot here in your topic. Click on 'Answer' & then click on the 'Image' [mountain symbol] & follow the instructions.
Also let us know which AVG trail product you used.
Keep us posted.

Thank you for the information, Aap.
May I know whether you received any threat detection popup from AVG Antivirus free recently when you tried to access these Zip files?
This is just one example from a backup and real one. The zip file on desktop was reduced in size while scan all zip files by extracting them. I am not 100 per cent sure this is because of Avg. But I think this is the case. This is from a free version.
No but I did not try to unzip file
It is not trial one. It is the "free" antivirus which is downloadable without a time restriction or trial period. The one with no payment
