AVG Updates in Wrong Language

I have AVG Free. The last updates came in a language I can’t read. I went to Interface but there isn’t a tools menu to pull up to change language. How do I change the language to English?

AVG 8.5 Free Updates Dutch Language Default Settings

Hmm, this is an interesting one, and you aren’t the only AVG user who has encountered it. Apparently a bunch of the AVG 8.5 Free updates were sent out with the default language set in Dutch, making it hard for users to know how to change the settings back to English. Thankfully, it’s easy to change the language setting back to English, but you will need to follow the directions below to adjust the settings using the Dutch system.

Changing the Language Settings in AVG 8.5 Free

Open your AVG Free program
Look on the toolbar at the top of the screen - find and choose the Extra tab.
There should be two sections: the top one starting with Computer Scannen, and the second starting with Update. Under Update, look for and choose an entry that says Geavanceerde instellingen, it should be the last listing
Now, a screen will open called Geavanceerde Instellingen AVG
Look for the drop down menu on the right pane of the screen. It should say Taalselectie in blue at the top of the screen
Click the arrow on the drop down menu on the right side of the screen.
When you click the arrow you should see English appear as an option
Click to highlight English
Now, on the bottom right side of the screen, you should see a tab that says Toepassen with an icon of a shield on it. Click this tab.
Now, click OK, also on the bottom of the screen
Close the screen by clicking the x on the top right corner
Close and quit the program and then restart AVG - you should be back in English when it reopens

I hope that this does it for you, and that you are back up and running in English and able to communicate with your AVG antivirus program again. If you need any further help or the language is other than Dutch, let us know. Good luck.
