Hello,
I have had AVG Free addition 8 anti virus on my computer for about two months now, at first everything seemed fine but just for the last 2 weeks I ave nothing but trouble.Pop ups,saying it might be out of date,running very slow.
I've tried to go into my add and remove BUT the program isn't even there to delete, I did find it in my computer after alot of seaching, did exactly what it said. I deleted all 13 programs then rebooted, well that didn't work! They are all back.
I asked google "how to uninstall AVG" It did say that it is very hard to remove, I tried 1 program to try to remove it but that didn't do the trick either I'm not so brilliant on the computer, is there a step by step tool or program that will actually delete it.

Thanks

Configuration: Windows XP
Firefox 3.0.8

Go through your regedit,
click on start click on run, type regedit in the dialog box that will display when you click on run. when registry editor opens press ctrl +f to find AVG registry entries. make sure that my computer at the left pane of regedit is with the + sign then use find to locate all AVG entires and delete them. be very carefull when you do this make sure that it is AVG program that you are deleting. when you are through with that. open my computer and browse to program files also delete the AVG folder. if you are seeing the AVG in your add and remove program go there now and it will only show you remove. click on the remove and thats it AVG its off.

if you still find it defficult check this site for screen shots http://online-computer-repairs.blogspot.com
