I have tried to remove avg free 8.0 and I just cant. I have downloaded 8.0 and removed it and it tells me I cant use it because I already have it installed and then it loads and wont work because it says a DIN file is missing. I removed 8.0 and and it just does the same thing. I removed 8.0 and tried to download 7.5 avg and it tells me you cant because you already have 7.5. I am using windows xp home. Where is this so embeded that I cant get it out of my computer. Any anti virus I try to run tells me I need to remove it and now i have no antivirus because the updates wont load, bad din file. Can anyone help?

Ty very much. I got your suggestion and it worked. thank you so much...tuck1

Check Add/Remove, if not there, Search Files Folders including hidden ones. Delete any avg; use ccleaner to remove registry keys then as a last resort Run regedit click ok, that is the registry; at the top is Edit click on that to Find and Type in AVG. The top of any spaces is the item to delete; F3 or Enter will keep searching and when it says finshed searching, X out of registry. Now you can reinstall AVG.

Okay I deleted the recycle bin and did another search, including hidden, and deleted more , but did search 4 or 5 times to delete straglers. It looks like there all gone. Do I still need to go into registry?
I didnt use the ccleaner you mentioned,, did I need to , and were can I find it?
Thank you

but when you do a search again, they are are gone and that is normal. It means you can't delete a deleted item. Darrell

it scares me to death when people start talking about changing or deleting registry items. That is not a job for newbies!

Make absolutely sure you know what you are doing. Do not take advice from anyone unless you know their expertise and credentials.

Hope this helps... just had to offer a bit of caution here.

Hello annae1214,

AVG Removers:

AVG 7 - http://www.avg.com/filedir/util/support/delavg7_en.exe (will remove all registry entries, files must be removed manually)

AVG 8/9 - http://www.avg.com/filedir/util/support/avgremover_en.exe

AVG 2011 & AVG 8/9 - http://www.avg.com/filedir/util/support/avg2011remover_en.exe

Else please describe your situation in more details.

Thank you

You can uninstall AVG successfully.
For that 1st you have to uninstall AVG from control panel.You have to enable show hidden files.Then type AVG and search.Right click to the seach file and open file folder and del.
If some *.dll files will not able to del. Then you have to rename the dll files in to jpg or any other.Restart the computer and search again and del.
It will work.I have don the same way for installing Kaspersky.
