Can't uninstall AVG 8.

fifilalou · 18-Sep-2009, 07:03 PM #1

Windows XP on Dell Inspiron 2200.
I got AGV a year and half ago and was using it alright for a while, but then something unknown happened and it has disappreared from my desktop nor is it functioning any more, just as good as if I didn't have it all. But it is still on my computer.
Now I wanted to install Norton freshly. But the computer doesn't let me apparently because AGV is in the way. I tried to unistall AGV, but cannot. The AGV error code Ox0253
How can I get rid of AGV in order to install Norton instead? Please help me.
Thank you.

Have you tried the AVG Remover?

Thank you. I have just tried it and worked! I was able to uninstall AGV. Thank you for your help.

A side note to this post, mainly if your running winvista, doesnt seem to bother xp machines. I noticed removing my copy of avg led to a broken chkdsk. If it is broken, just install avg again and remove it from safemode and you should be fine. Weird workaround i know, its an odd bug i had.
