Uninstalling AVG

I'm trying to install Kasperkey. I have uninstalled AVG however, I get a
message that AVG is installed and to remove it before I can proceed. I
search the PC for AVG and found one file left and removed. I got the same
message that AVG was still installed. I then went into safe mode and did an
entire search and location one more folder which was a toolbar and removed
that. I still get a message saying AVG is installed and to remove it. What
can I do?

You could always re install AVG, and then use something like Revo Uninstaller on Advanced mode and restart your computer to see if it will get rid of it all for you..

Not too long ago I uninstalled AVG and went with Avast.

How did you uninstall AVG?
I believe their website mentions the best way is to download the latest
version, run the executable, it will recognize you have a version already
installed and give you the chance to uninstall - you then uninstall and
reboot when finished.

I did it this way and did not have any issue.

Hope this helps,

It is easier to just do it and then get someone here to fix it; that way it
is unnecessary to read instructions.

You most likely have registry entires still left. You should use the AVG
remover.
