Thread: Getting rid of AVG

Very good little program. Don't be fooled by it saying it's for Office. It will remove anything.

Reinstalled AVG hoping I can uninstall all the way. If not, then the windows tool. If that doesn't work, then the ccleaner.

Right now im doing a chkdsk. And those can take awhile.

I'll be back with updates.

Ok, just downloaded the trial off their site and installed. Once that was all done, I uninstalled. Success!

I'm putting avast! on there.

Avast is good. Just make sure you register so you can keep it after the free trial. I actually purchased the Avast Professional Edition, or whatever it is called and use it on my server. It scans all of my machines so I don't have to have it installed locally anymore.

I also have AVG doing the same thing. This way I have two different virus scanners hitting my boxes at separate times.

Well I just needed to put some kind of AV on her computer. Personally (sp?) I havn't had anything I like besides Norton360. I like how it keeps you PC clean, with the disk optimization and how it cleans up all your temp files, stuff like that. I know you can do that through windows, but I liked the convience of having it all in one program.

Now I just have to find out how to get it to run on W7. I'll make a post about it after work. We're going to get this to work. I have faith in the TTP people here.
