win 7 wont install

by Johntycn - 10/24/09 1:08 AM

I tried installing an upgrade to home vista and each time it halts the process telling me to uninstall Kaspersky anti virus. My point is I don't have Kaspersky anything on board. I do have Virgin's pc guard anti virus which Virgin have told me is not yet compatible with 7 and to wait as they are working on it.
What I want to know....Is 7 confusing this with Kaspersky or is something else holding up the installation. Will the free AVG work with 7 until Virgin get their act together.

http://www.virginmedia.com/myvirginmedia/pcguard/find-out-more/ tells about Kaspersky. It seems the program is right (so you're confused, not the program).

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/Search.aspx?type=Software&s=AVG says AVG (both 8 and 9) is compatible.

Do not upgrade but make a clean install

Do not upgrade but make a clean install. If you want a stable PC formate your Vista partition and do a clean install of Windows 7. Then it will be perfect -):

He did indicate upgrade. Will upgrade versions allow clean install?

Do not format the drive, run the Windows 7 upgrade from Windows, choose custom instalation to do a clean install.
