AVG DETECTS ENTRIES IN WINDOWS OS REGISTRY AS TRUSTED WHEN THEY SHOULDN'T EVEN EXIST
Here's what's happened since Upgrading from Win 10 (version 1803) to Win 10 (version 1809)
It's been 10 days and no further a word from AVG Senior Level 2
FIRST REPORTED 12:32 PM on 1/8/2019. I was promised this would be fix but it still isn't.
I was contacted by AVG remote team and my case is STILL under investigation by a level 2 technician and it's now 1/20/2019
The problem is that before 01/04/2019 AVG and even Windows 10 (Ver1803) did not detect that there were more than ONE Private Network and ONE Public Network (VPN). AVG claimed that 6 other Network Profiles were available networks close by (eg. neighboring homes with routers or Networks) BUT THIS ENTIRELY UNTRUE. I even showed AVG Technicians during a Remote Session and since then I have had no further help to resolve the issue.
I know where all the entries are in the system Registry and I am advised to NOT REMOVE those entries because if I do then this will cause Windows to fail. True or False?
What have I done so far to resolve this issue,;
1. Continue to update AVG in Community Support
2. Attempted to resolve the issue via Remote Session with a Microsoft Technician concluding that a full MS Windows 10 upgrade from ver 1803 to 1809. Now with Window 10 Upgrade completed and all updates succeeded I should not see those Old/Defunct/Obsolete Networks anywhere in the system BUT instead are still being detected as Private (trusted) Networks which I then have to manually change to 'Public' each time Windows restarts: This not what I had expected!
There are 6 trusted networks inside my Computer and none of them are mine or my neighbor's, So, how do I resolve this issue? I have matched the Key to the Profile Name as: = Network Profile: "NAME" to make it easier to follow.
Registry Entries are:
1. UNKNOWN/HACKER 2?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Profiles\{31A95DE1-1FC2-4C1B-9F64-4AEE9E6D76EF} = Network Profile: "DIRECT-PFOWNER-PCTrGE 2"
2. UNKNOWN

3. DEFUNCT/OBSOLETE:

I hope this helps...btw: I didn't show the actual Private Network Name I currently use for this machine and I am sticking my head out by just showing these entries in here.
Hope you can help me!
