How to fix "There are no active components available" error message
Unfortunately, some updates in AVG cause the error message "There are no active components available". This always happens when the AVG service itself is affected by the update and not just the definitions and databases. Just do the following to fix the error.
- Go to the Windows icon in the lower left of the taskbar and navigate to the Control Panel. If it is not available, simply type "Control Panel" while the Windows menu is open. Then Windows will automatically search for it.
- Under "Control Panel" go to "Programs and Features". Then switch to the "Add / Remove Programs" tab.
- Select AVG from the list and click on "Change / Repair" above.
- Select "Repair" here and confirm.
- After the repair is complete, restart your computer. AVG should now function normally again.
