AVG AntiVirus Hider

This AutoHotkey (AHK) script automatically hides all visible windows and notifications from AVG AntiVirus Free. It is designed for users who want to keep AVG running silently in the background without popups or UI interruptions. It does not require administrator access, and can be done in local user land on Windows.

Features

• Automatic Window Hiding: Continuously hides AVG user interface windows, splash screens, and dialogs.
• Notification Suppression: Suppresses AVG tray notifications, balloon tips, and popups.
• Hotkey Controls:
  • Ctrl + Alt + H: Manually hide AVG windows and notifications.
  • Ctrl + Alt + P: Pause/resume script.
  • Ctrl + Alt + X: Exit script.
• Tray Menu with options to manually hide, pause/resume, or exit.
• Startup Compatibility: Can be run at Windows startup for continuous hiding.

How It Works

Timers

• Checks for AVG windows every 500 ms.
• Checks for AVG notifications every 1000 ms.

Window Hooks

• Uses SetWinEventHook to immediately respond when new AVG windows appear.

Silent Operation

• Optionally hides the script’s tray icon.
• Provides minimal tray tips for user feedback.

Installation

1. Install AutoHotkey.
2. Save the script as HideAVG.ahk.
3. Double-click the script to run, or place it in your Startup folder for automatic startup.

Usage

• After launch, the script runs silently and automatically hides AVG windows.
• Use the hotkeys or the tray menu for manual control.
• To stop the script, use Ctrl + Alt + X or exit via the tray menu.

Notes

• This script does not disable AVG; it only hides its interface and notifications.
• Use responsibly and ensure you can access AVG when needed.
