• In the folder, look for files that were renamed by AVG Anti-Virus (For example: QBDBMGRN_AVG_RESTORED).
• Now, you need to rename the file back to the original name (For example: qbdbmgrn.exe)

To make exceptions to prevent the QuickBooks directory from being scanned:

• Open AVG Anti-Virus User Interface
• Double-click the Resident Shield tab (located on the left panel) and choose the Manage Exceptions option.
• Select the Add Path button and then type C:\Program Files\Intuit.
