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

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?

[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?
