I have ordered another anti-virus but during installation it reminds me that I have to uninstall AVG 8 (free). I have uninstalled it but apparently there are remnants of it still on my pc. What do I have to do to completely get rid of it so I can install the new paid version of Kaspersky?
Chosen Answer:
Use RevoUninstaller, it also finds partially removed programs:
http://www.download.com/Revo-Uninstaller/3000-2096_4-10687648.html?part=dl-RevoUnins&subj=uo&tag=button&cdlPid=10854684
It’s faster and better than add / remove applet.
When you run it highlight the item then select uninstall in next window select Advanced and click Next, follow prompts when uninstalled it will scan registry and drive for leftover files / folders, tick ONLY the bold items and follow prompts.
Also clean registry traces:
Eusing Free Registry Cleaner:
