Hi, I just downloaded AVG antivirus 8.5. Now I'm not able to uninstall AVG 8.0 version. The error shows as

Uninstall FAILED
1 error occurred. Click details to show information.

Local machine: installation failed
Installation:
Error: Action failed for registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows: creating registry key....
Error 0x80070005

Now how do i change my registry. Any idea on how to solve this problem.
Use the appropriate TOOL based on your operating SYSTEM from here: AVG Removal Tools

After you have completed the steps to remove the previous version of AVG...try the new installation, again.


Keep us posted...I used avgremover.exe and was successfully able to uninstall AVG 8.0. But I'm not able to install AVG 8.5. Same error occurs.

Creating registry value......

Local machine: installation failed
Installation:
