Hi again!

 

Please let us know what the details of your computer are... hardware, operating system, security softwares, memory, etc. are... that will be most helpful! You can add them to your member profile by pressing the UserCP button at the top left of the Iobit Forum.

 

Also please describe the method you have tried to uninstall AVG with... was it the built in Windows uninstaller? Also, did it seem to run to completion and tell you the software was sucessfully uninstalled?

 

Is the AVG Desktop Icon still visible? Is it still listed in your program files? Is there an AVG Icon on your quick launch bar or in your system tray?

 

Sincerely,

-Mel

Live long and prosper!

Welcome to the forum joana39 :smile:

 

Try using the AVG Remover tool

AVG Remover eliminates all the parts of your AVG installation from your computer, including registry items, installation files, user files, etc. AVG Remover is the last option to be used in case the AVG uninstall / repair installation process has failed repeatedly.

 

All the best, woz of oz

Same happened to me! Apparently, you have to uninstall the free version before installing the paid version...otherwise there is a massive conflict. Anyway, it screwed up my computer too and I had to have the disc formatted. I complained to AVG and they refunded my money. I haven't touched AVG since.
