RE: (just tried Health Check, and scans OK, but when you choose "Make it Better" that is when it tries installing AVG Antivirus FREE??)

However I also have the same problem with Health Check on one Windows 10 PC. When you click on 'Make It Better' the AVG starts to setup the free version. I just wait until AVG is ready to install then click the X (to close) and answer yes when it asks 'Do you want to quit setup?'; it then removed the install file and goes away, then Health Check finishes. This only happens on one Windows 10 PC, I have not seen it happen with Windows 11 PCs nor Windows 10 tablets or my other Windows 10 PC. I was killing the task through Windows Task Manager but it left the install file intact so just waiting until it is ready to install and closing it is the easiest way to work around this minor issue. The only hunch I have is that there must be some AVG residue that Health Check is finding, to update. My next step will be to deep clean this Windows 10 PC and see if I can find traces of the AVG install to remove. I used CCleaner to uninstall but maybe it missed something? AVG is no longer in the CCleaner uninstall list nor the Windows App & Features list under Settings. Thanks for addressing this issue, I was ready to ask CCleaner tech support why they were forcing the AVG install, until I read this tread. Best JamesWilliam
