Re: Problem with AVG Free 8, Vista Home Premium SP1 and IE7

05-08-2008

Did you uninstall Avast before you installed AVG 8.0?

If so, did you run the Avast removal tool (aswclear.exe) before you
installed AVG 8.0?

http://files.avast.com/files/eng/aswclear.exe

[SAVE aswclear.exe to your desktop & run manually, do not RUN it directly
from the download!]

Did you reinstall AVG 8.0 without the Safe Search and Link Scanner modules
without first uninstalling AVG 8.0 or did you uninstall AVG 8.0 first?
