AVG in my opinion just continues to climb higher and higher on the bloatware ladder and this latest "AVG Remover Tool" puts them right up there with Symantec/Norton and McAfee.

Special tools should be reserved for removing malware. Not a legitimate antivirus!

Repair Tool of the Week: AVG Remover - Technibble

Why not just uninstall it via the Add/Remove Programs you might say? Because sometimes the uninstaller doesn't completely remove everything. If you try to install a new version of AVG or some other antivirus, you cant because it believes that the old AVG is still installed. This fixes that by running a script that removes all the registry keys that AVG left behind.

AVG Remover: AVG Antivirus and Security Software Remover utility

AVG Remover utility removes all parts of AVG installation on your computer, including registry items, installation and user files on your disk, etc. AVG Remover is the least option to be used in case the AVG uninstallation / repair installation process has failed repeatedly.

Warning: All AVG user settings will be removed after the uninstallation, as well as the Virus Vault content and other item related to AVG installation and use. During the removal procedure you will be asked to restart your computer. Therefore please make sure to finish your work and to save all important data prior to AVG Remover launch.

Hmmm...I've used AVG for years with no problems and don't feel v8 is any poorer, nor does it use a great deal in the way of resources. I was comparing resources with a NOD32 user earlier this week. With just the interface open, no scans running, AVG was only using around 25MB while NOD32 was using over 40MB.

It's a good AV. I've been critical of it since it refused to install when I tried to upgrade to the 8.0 version.

I changed the title. It is a trusted antivirus so I shouldn't be worrying anybody.

Friend i not agree with you. Because Last couple of Years i use my all computers free AVG Antivirus. daily i update it. Many of time i also uninstall it. No problem arise. I think it will be your installation problem or some others. Thanks

I used to use AVG as my anti virus moved onto Avast for now. From my experience and what I remember AVG did the job.

Might try out this tool to get rid of anything thats left from it

its very simple if you go to the control panel and do directly from there in add/remove program there isn't any problem with that.i done my all software like that.

Uninstall from control panel > add/remove program or you can go for avg removal utility from internet and search out on the Google.

I used AVG anti virus free version and i think it is good anti virus software. If you want uninstall so, go to control panel than add/remove program and select avg than uninstall or remove.

The first thing you want to try is to locate AVG in the Add/Remove Control Panel and try to remove it from there. Follow these instructions to accomplish this.
Click on Start, Control Panel
Open Add/Remove Programs
Find AVG in the Programs list and highlight it
Click Remove and follow the prompts to uninstall AVG
