| | How to completely remove AVG from computer Hi thankyou for all the help in choosing an alternative anti virus program to AVG to run on Vista Home Premium. I have opted for the free home edition of Avast, I'll see how that goes, failing that I'm thinking about purchasing the NOD 32 Anti Virus. I have uninstalled AVG, but notice there are still components left on my computer, I really want to remove the whole shebang of AVG as I don't want to incur additional problems when installing my new anti virus, am I missing something during uninstall? Thanks again Denise |

If you think "Leftovers" from AVG are bad you should see the trash Norton leaves behind I just removed it from 3 XP machines at work andwham, doubled the speed instantly. I think Avast is running well on those, bit less resource use than AVG I think. |
