Help Upgrading

[CashMoney]

I recently had AVG Free anti virus on my computer and have decided to upgrade to a better antivirus program. i have completely uninstalled AVG but when i try to install the new one it tells me that i must first uninstall AVG. i already did this and do not know how to get rid of it completely. any help will be greatly appriciated.

Thanx CashMoney

Maybe you had more then one version?

Check your programs folder for more installs.

I wasn't aware there was a better anti virus software than AVG... especially for free. What are you trying to "upgrade" to?

[Greg]

anti-vir is better then AVG, Notron and McAfee.

I know that for fact.

It's a free 5 month trial now then cost 20$ euro.

i am trying to upgrade to Panda Titanium 2006. there is no trace of AVG anywhere on my computer i did a complete search for AVG and for Grisoft

Maybe a registry clean up would help?

[CashMoney]

is there a good registry cleaner that is free that you would reccomend ? all the ones i have found scan then say pay to get clean up the files

[Greg]

I don't know of one. I'll look in a few places. In the mean time someone else may.

You might want to take a look at Tune Up Utilities 2006. They offer a trial ware version that may give you enough insite in your registry to find your problem areas. It's a worthwhile program for the 40 bucks they ask for it though.

There's always the totally free, although not as easy option. Regedit or regedt32 and the famous Alt/Edit/Find search and destroy method.

Nop, I'm curious as to your evaluation of anti-vir. Can you do a writeup on your opinions of this over AVG for us... maybe start a new thread? It goes without saying that pretty much anything is better than Norton or McAfee, but I'd be interested in your evaluation what anti-vir gives you over AVG. I've been recommending AVG for a long time now, but always like to stay on top of things.

AVG is a very good anti virus possibly the best Free anti virus out there right now.but i personally like Panda so i purchased a copy of it.
