I've tried installing AVG8 several times now. During first few times
when it went through check and told me conflicting AVG Anti-Spyware
app still present, I went and uninstalled it. Later steps: ran
registry cleaner, searched for all "AVG" in files and folders and
manually deleted everything I found, lastly even deleted the AVG
Anti-Spyware folder in my "programs" partition, where I keep all
backup files. Nothing. I deleted and dl AVGFree8 again and still the
same thing. Numerous reboots in between. Yet after system check, it
still keeps telling me that AVG Anti-Spyware is present and that I can
either go back or exit. No solution, in other words.
Has anyone else had this problem? How did you get around it? Thx |

Turns out it was an obscure "ewido" entry in the registry that I had
to hunt for and delete manually! Talk about stupid! How many newbies
are going to run into that problem, I'd like to know ... ?
This is a new XP installation only a couple of weeks old and it was a
complete C drive wipe and reinstall. Ewido was on my system a year
ago, not anytime recently. I'm guessing that AVG Anti-Spyware left
that behind as a legacy type of thing that didn't get cleaned up
during this morning's uninstall.
So if anyone has this problem, I went the run > regedit route and then
searched for ewido and deleted the key. Presto, AVG8 would run. |

I also had the same problem. I knew I had uninstalled it, so I went ahead,
and installed ver8, figuring it was a glitch of some kind. It installed
with no adverse effects.

Well, you were lucky. I couldn't just 'go ahead', when it reached a
certain point while it was verifying, it stopped and gave me error
message. It wasn't until I found and deleted the "ewido" entry that I
could even install.
Different situation, I guess. I'm guessing yours was a different
problem altogether.
