Learn a new technic this morning while helping a friend to resolve his anti virus problem. The problem begin when he removed his first installed anti virus - AVG8 and upgrade from installed KAV 7.0 to KAV 2009.
During the progress, it show an alert saying AVG8 wasn't uninstall completely even he did. No surprise, this is the beauty of software if I may say. Especially anti virus or securities program.
Then we started to googled around and found some very useful links and help. Thanks to you guys out there... :)
Option 2 is to edit the registry manually, click Start, select Run and type "regedit" then hit ok. Look for these few items,
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\AVG7Uninstall
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\AVG6INSTALL
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\AVG8Uninstall
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AVG\Avg8
Locate each of them, right click them respectively and select Delete. Extra tip is you might want to export your registry in case wrongly remove. Just click File from the menu bar and chose Export (Save) to a locations.
More details from
KAV and
AVG why these problem occurred.
