Removing leftover AVG components
July 24, 2008
I downloaded avg 8 free edition running win xp however, I have now lost internet connection connecting through a pppoe
connection. After checking device manager I am showing two instances of via networking ethernet adapter avg miniport driver and avg miniport driver both with bangs when trying to uninstall them it won’t allow the uninstall. How do I remove these, I have already uninstalled the avg software.
Try reinstalling AVG yes I know that sounds stupid and counter productive but just give it a try. So go and download the latest AVG free edition antivirus and install it. Run the installer file, when that’s finished find the “Select Setup Type” dialog, there should be a “Uninstall Product” option in there. When the uninstall process finishes reboot the computer. Hope this helps.

I ran into a very similar problem.
I am running the full version of AVG 8.0 with Windows XP/SP2.
I had 2 exclamation marks (!) in my device manager with “AVG miniport driver” descriptions.
After a fair amount of time of trial and error (AVG tech support never even replied to my email) I was able to find a fix.
I went into “Network Connections” and disabled then immediately re-enabled Firewall protection for each of my network connections.
This cleared the device manager errors and they have not returned.
I am still using AVG 8.0 and it seems to be working flawlessly.
I hope this helps. Good luck!

hi Danno:
Thank you so much, after 2 days of trying to fix this error with AVG 8. I was able to fix my system following your advice.
Thank you so much again, Danno.
