Do you do that because you get the free premium service upon install, or some other reason?
Am running it now for the first time, seems pretty good.
I have been using AVG for years, plus Ghostery and NoScript and Defender.
Not sure how good AVG Free is against some of the others listed here.

It's probably genuine... but if you have it installed, you should find the icon in the status bar or hidden icons window... right click to open and check the status of your license.

Get all your data out on a cloud drive(if its feasible) do a format and fresh install, and do your work on a VM that mounts the cloud drive.
Unless you're developer where it takes tons of time to set up the environment you work in, reinstalling apps shouldn't take too long.
Save that VM and make a copy of it. Do all your work on the VM if feasible, if not just restrict the VM to online activities. If anything wonks up your VM, just nuke it and make another copy.

Use Firefox or chrome and install Adblock plus and noscript add ons to avoid scripts running on your browser and any infected ads from infecting your system.
Noscript is a pain in the ass for a while, but, you will basically stop anything from running on your browser you don't want.
