Not only is it used for safe search but since I disabled it my scan individual files/folders doesn't scan. Although my whole PC scan and post update scans do work. So, do I have to reinstall for it to function?

Don't know if this will help?.... Have a look @ FAQ #2964 http://free.avg.com/ww-en/faq.num-2964#num-2964 which deals with Search-Shield & Surf-Shield disabling/enabling.

If you're not sure about 32 or 64 bit on your system have a look @ this link http://forums.avg.com/ww-en/avg-free-forum?sec=thread&act=show&id=140471#post_140471.

Ccleaner didn't have an "enable" option. Finally did a re-download for 2012 and did a repair and that fixed it.

I have vprot.exe back now so it's fixed. Don't use Ccleaner disable as there is no enable button to push if you make an error.
