I am attemtping to remove AVG in order to install Kapersky. I have removed through the control panel add/remove. Searched and removed all straglers using search on "My Computor" in public, hidden and private folders. But when I go to install it says AVG is still on my PC. Also have rebooted
Any ideas
Download the newest version of avg install and re-uninstall it
Go to Your Local Drive C, go to program files and remove or delete all the AVG Files there.
I think that should help
Have you tried a registry cleaner?
There are several good free ones about.
