AVG Remover - some of you didn't believe me, when....

...I kept saying, AVG ver. 8.0 became a bloated program.
So, right now, AVG found itself in pretty infamous company of Norton, and McAfee, where you need special uninstaller to get rid of it.

Why not just uninstall it via the Add/Remove Programs you might say? Because sometimes the uninstaller doesnt completely remove everything. If you try to install a new version of AVG or some other antivirus, you cant because it believes that the old AVG is still installed. This fixes that by running a script that removes all the registry keys that AVG left behind.

Sure thing

Special tools should be reserved for removing malware. Not a legitimate antivirus!

Now you're talking...
Also, I don't recall, if it was same with AVG 7.5, but, if you run GMER on a computer with AVG 8.0, its entries show there....means, it as deeply built into system core as Norton, and McAfee.
Thus, special tool is needed, like for any rootkit.
