How to remove AVG Free Antivirus
November 21, 2007
I did a tutorial on how to uninstall Norton yesterday so today we will look at how to uninstall another popular anti-virus, AVG free home edition.
Sometimes you have to remove AVG Anti-Virus because it is not operating properly such as updating problems, or maybe it wont open at all and needs to be reinstalled. Whatever your reason may be for removing AVG I have some steps below to follow.
Doing a regular uninstall should remove AVG:
- Start
- Control Panel
- Got to Add/Remove Programs or Programs > then to Uninstall a program for Vista users
- Look for AVG and click on it to highlight it
- Hit “Remove” and follow the instructions to uninstall AVG
If for some reason AVG uninstall failed using the normal method above, here is also another option for removing the pesky anti-virus.
- Download the Avg installer here
- When the download finishes click on the .exe file to run it
- A Welcome box appears click “Next” and accept the user agreement
- Now it will scan your computer and check the status of AVG
- When it finishes scanning you should get options to “Add or Remove Components”, “Repair Installation”, and “Uninstall Product”
