Asked by: 27 views Computer Security

i cant uninstall avg and cant get help from them and want to know if I install MSE if it will further mess up my computer/…I used to have a paid subscription to AVG but opted for free version once the contract was up. I am just looking for a good free security program. Any suggestions? Either how to uninstall AVG or if it will affect using MSE, or something that will work for me for free?

    download AVG again then reinstall it over the top of what’s already installed that should then reset AVG so you should be able to uninstall it then install MSE.
    don’t install MSE until AVG has gone or you’ll have problems

    Of course you can uninstall it. Just go to control panel>add & remove programs>unintstall.

    why u can’t uninstall it ? can u tell us what error message is it giving u when u are uninstalling it ?
    are u doing is correctly ?

    to uninstall avg correctly go to “Control Panel” -> Programs and features
    and then look for ur AVG and the uninstall it .

    if that’s not working then try to run the setup of avg then there it will give u the three options “modify” “repair” or “remove” , just select “remove ” and it will be removed

    and MSE is one damn good antivirus.

    and no if u use MSE over ur AVG it will mess up ur computer so first uninstall avg then install MSE
