Vista - Vista vs AVG Free

recnetly down loaded Vista. I have a conflict with avg free in which i
cannot register. Tried to delete AVG but it keeps saying i do not have
permission. What permission do i need to delete it? i have tried envery thing
from draging to recycle bin to hardware remove, but its still there.
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's a known problem with AVG. Re-download the file, go to install it, but
stop when it gives you the name and key#. Copy that, paste it into a notepad
file. Restart, and when AVG comes up with the register prompt, you can click
register and enter in the name & key from the notepad file. That should get
it registered. Other than that, it seems to be a PITA to get it removed
correctly.

I recently removed my avg free version and added my avg pro version and had
no problems with either of them during the install or the uninstall. I am
running Vista Home Premium with 2gb ram with the aero features disabled.
