barrythegreek · #1 07-07-2008, 04:25 PM

After several problems with AVG free I've uninstalled it using Revo uninstaller - user settings , reg . entries the lot . Now installed Avast but my security center shows both of them & says 'multiple anti-virus programs show that they are turned on & up to date' . Am on my spare machine now as I'm wary of using laptop at the minute. Any advice pls as this thing is ancient

Am running Vista home premium on laptop .

Is AVG listed in add/remove programs? Remove it from there.

Not listed anywhere . The only place it shows is in the security center

Not too sure, you could try running the reg fix in CCleaner, that may well sort it.

Try their RECOMMENDED BASIC AVG UNINSTALL INSTRUCTIONS to uninstall it.

Let us know if it's gone after that.

You may need to reinstall it first.
