I cann't install AVG free 8.0 - Computers & Internet

If you have windows 7 or 8, remove AVG and install Microsoft Security Essentials. It is better than AVG and really for free.

go here, avg 2011 free requires no key. If you nee to completely uninstall prevous version avg has an uninstall tool, make sure self protection module is unchecked

Hi,
Instead of installing AVG free, download & install Avira Antivir Personal Free. It is better compared to AVG in terms of virus detection 7 also very light on the system.

Strippy had asked you a right question. You may be trying to install AVG when you have already one antivirus program running. OR you had once installed AVG sometimes in the past, but uninstallation was not properly done. Hence it is showing registry key error.

1. If you are running any anitvirus prog now, first uninstall it. Then restart the machine.

2. Now you try install AVG. it should install. if not, try the following

Go to system restore and create restore point for safety.

go to run and type regedit and then enter

Press cntrl + F for finding earlier registry keys of AVG. Try to find out all old registry keys amd delete them all.

Restart the machine. Its DONE.

delete all avg folders in program files folder like grisoft ang avg then run unistall from control pannel

download and install your uninstaller then remove AVG with that

just download the trial version of kaspersky antivirus its free and scan your conputer its a trial version for just 30 days if you want a full version antivirus then go for avg 8 my suggestion is for now install kasperky n after the trial period install the avg 8 to download kaspersky internet security click the link below
