Just take it out with Windows using ‘settings’ or I used ‘CCleaner’. AVG AV itself has been good to me for many, many years, just the Web Tuneup was bad.

Looking further I saw a recurring file, AVG Web Tuneup, (neshdesign above was on the right track). Confusing at first, it showed my “User/APPS/” file taking up all free space on my hard drive. I came across this program “TreeSize Free” that list all files and what they take up. I disabled the toolbar a long while back, but never deleted the Web Tuneup program itself.Īfter hours of moving and saving files before they got lost to what I thought was a virus and searching online for answers and running every malware program I could find. In my case it was AVG Web Tuneup which also had a search toolbar. I had this same issue, unsure, but think it started soon after a Win 10 update.
