I want to install kaspersky 2009 but it wont let me until AVG8 is deleted.

I went to add/remove programmes (or programme features to some) and its not there. I went to programme files and there was the file (which was empty) so I deleted that. I went back to kas and it keeps saying to uninstall it, even though I cant see it installed. What do I do?

In all programmes under start, theres no mention of it there either.

Oh and im using MS Vista.

Thank you,
James.

This is tricky.. This is what I had to do with a user:

Unfortunately, at this time Grisoft, the maker of AVG, does not have an uninstall utility for AVG. The recommended procedure is a time consuming one. You must download the latest version of AVG from the website, and then run it.

1) Click on the following link and download AVG to your desktop

http://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/us/frt/0

2) Double-click on the downloaded file to run it
3) AVG will present you with three options to choose from. Choose the Uninstall option to completely uninstall AVG

Add/Remove Components - choose if you want to add/remove some components or reinstall the entire AVG program
Repair installation - this option repairs or reinstalls missing or damaged components of AVG
Uninstall - this option removes the AVG program from your PC

4) Once the uninstall has completed, restart your computer. You can then proceed to install another antivirus

Well, they do have a uninstall/removal tool now, found here: http://www.avg.com/download-tools After you run the tool, turn your computer off, and then back on. According to the instructions, all instances of avg should now be removed from your computer. Don`t forget to reboot after you run the tool.
