Angry Mcafee and AVG problem
Hi

We have just renewed our mcafee subscription and I was just about to install it on my new computer. It goes through alright but then it says I have got AVG 7.1 Installed and this conflicts with the installation.

I have made sure there are no files on my computer that have anything to do with AVG and have been through the registry and there are no registry entries either.

I did have AVG installed for a bit but theat was AVG 8 so I have no idea where this has come from.

Please help
