Remove and Reinstall AVG

[Michael]

The AVG on my netbook suddenly doesn't work this morning. The tray icon doesn't show up, and when I click the Start Menu shortcut to the AVG User Interface, nothing happen. Same thing when I try to launch from the installed directory.

So I run the installer and choose for repair, but it shows error message half way and said it couldn't continue. I run the installer again and choose remove instead, still same, error message half way.

How can I manually remove it and reinstall?

Thanks.

download and run the un-installer utility from here http://www.avg.com/us-en/utilities

Once AVG is un-installed download AVAST or AVIRA as they are better than AVG, not as many false possitives and they use less system resorces.

If the AVG un-install utility does not work use Revo un-installer from here  http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html

Everything is good and red posts. But that's a very good balance.

I've been using AVG for more than 5 years without any major issue or infection.
I didn't like AVAST because the scan will pause at every threat detected hence I cannot leave it running scan without attending to it.
Never tried AVIRA.
