hey,

well i wanted to install the free trial of AV kaspersky but wn i start it tells me at the middle that i have avg installed and u have to get rid of it .. but i couldn't find it neither in the program files nor in the add\remove application window...
i used to have AVG, but i did uninstall it then afterwards i even installed Nod... so that conflict didn't happen with Nod installation

so what is it ?

Install AVG again and then uninstall it from Start > All Programs > AVG > Uninstall.

The AVG installer leaves quite a few AVG entries in the registry. Kaspersky is apparently sensitive to that and so is other software. When I removed AVG 7.5 and tried to install the AVAST software, it would freeze my PC on reboot. I took someone's tip here to use the free REVO Uninstaller. REVO does take a little thought to run as it's not just intended for AVG, but it's fairly intuitive or obvious what to click.

It seems to be a very comprehensive uninstaller and it did erase many remnants of AVG. The AVAST installed easily after that, and I actually like it better than AVG.

I've lost the source but i already downloaded another trial version to do wt u suggested , but Kaspersky recognize it as another avg .. so their is two versions of avg now !
i'll keep the avg if i did not know y or wr is the files that get kaspersky to sense that their is a "AVG"

AVG8.0 is available free from here:

It automatically removes AVG7.5 during the install and is a good AV solution as it stands, or will remove easily as I described above and should take away all the AVG7.5 traces.

oh .. so i'll install that revo thing and will let u know
thanks

..so the problem with revos is that it did not list AVG along with installed applications .. and its right .. it's not installed i have uninstalled it my self ... any ways .. i guess as a punishment for kaspersky i will not install it and will keep that avg trial till further notice
