READ: Avast releases AVG Free Antivirus 2017

These days, many antivirus companies are branching out and now sell VPNs, tweaking and cleaning software and various other services or applications. While you as a user might have no interest in anything else being offered apart from the free antivirus, the antivirus company is keen to make you aware that these other products exist. A few vendors have gone further and now put their free antivirus behind a launcher fronted that advertises their other products.

Both AVG and Avira have gone down this route and when you click the tray or desktop icon for the antivirus it takes you to the launcher instead. AVG’s interface is called Zen while Avira’s launcher is called Connect. They are referred to as central hubs to control the products you own from the company on all your devices. In reality though, they are hindrance for the majority of users that just want the antivirus and are not interested in any of the other products.

The problem is Zen and Connect are integrated into the free antivirus packages and refuse to let you uninstall the launcher software while the antivirus is installed. The tray icons also take you to the launcher instead of opening the antivirus main interface. In essence, you are stuck with the launcher whether you want it or not.

While these launchers shouldn’t really take up a huge amount of system resources, they are for the most part, unnecessary. Here we’ll show you how to disable AVG Zen and uninstall the Avira Connect Launcher so you don’t have to use them if you don’t want.

For those who dislike AVG Zen, the bad news is the 2017 free antivirus has integrated it even more tightly into the package than before. Previous methods to uninstall Zen or stop it from installing altogether now don’t work. Therefore, the best option with the current AVG Antivirus Free is to disable Zen so you don’t have to use it. Here’s how:

Disable AVG Zen In AVG Antivirus Free 2017

1. If you don’t have it already, download and install AVG Antivirus Free(watch out for the adware). AVG no longer offers a full offline installer on their main download pages, so download the 3MB stub installer and install while connected to the internet.

Tip: AVG has removed all previous version free antivirus offline installers from their servers, but weirdly, they’ve been replaced with full offline installers for the 2017 version. Even though AVG doesn’t officially release 2017 offline installers, and the names are the old filenames, the installers are the newest version. Here’s the offline installers for AVG Antivirus Free 2017.

Download AVG Antivirus Free 2017 Offline Installer 32-bit

It is not certain how long these files will remain available, but for now, they work fine if you want the full offline 2017 installer.

2. Once AVG is installed open the Antivirus interface via Zen and go to Menu > Settings at the top right.

3. Click on Troubleshooting and uncheck the option for Enable AVG Self Protection Module. Press OK and Yes to accept the warning.

4. Close all AVG windows and open the Registry Editor by typing Regedit into Start or the Run dialog (Win+R). Navigate to the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREAVG

5. Right click on the Zen key and press Delete. Close Regedit again.

If you prefer not to go into the registry yourself, you can download this ready made Delete Zen key .REG file which will automatically delete the key for you when you double click on it.

6. Log off or restart the computer. Now when you left click on the tray icon the AVG antivirus main window will open instead of the Zen UI. Right click and and it gives the options to open the antivirus direct or run a scan. Also, the arrow on the left of the AVG window does not open Zen.

Do note that after booting, the tray icon sometimes takes 30-60 seconds to revert to the Antivirus Free popup. If everything has worked as expected you can go back into AVG Settings at step 3 and re-enable self protection.

The desktop and Start Menu icons no longer work as they point to the Zen launcher. Change the Properties > Target for the shortcut to “C:Program Files (x86)AVGAntivirusavgui.exe” or “C:Program FilesAVGAntivirusavgui.exe” for 32-bit, or just delete/not use the shortcuts.

Here’s a short YouTube video showing how go through the steps above to disable AVG Zen.

We have run AVG for a few weeks like this and Zen has not returned, although there was not a major program update during this time. If a program update enables Zen again simply disable self protection and delete the registry key by following steps 3-6.
