By

This guide will show you how to uninstall AVG 8 Free edition. Lets’ begin.
Download Free AVG. When it’s finished downloading we can click on the file to start.

You will get a “Welcome” dialog box, click “Next”

Next, is the Acceptance notice screen, click “Accept”

Click “Accept” again at the License Agreement Window

Now AVG will scan your existing AVG install then give you a few options.

  • Add or remove components – Select components to install or uninstall
  • Repair installation – Repairs installed components, replacing missing or damaged files and registry data
  • Uninstall product – Removes AVG Free from your computer

If you have a browser open at this time it will prompt you to close it.

Now AVG will be begin the “Uninstalling” this takes several minutes.

    Tried it – didn’t work. Tried doing the REGEDIT trick and that didn’t work. Tried using ‘repair’ and that didn’t work. I’ve spent about 4 hours on this now and I’m going mad.
