I was RECENTLY invited to UPGRADE my AVG (or Ewido, I can't remember which) programme and I duly downloaded the combined version AVG 7.5 antispyware and antimalware - all ok.  I've since seen in "My Documents" that the Ewido set-up and Ewido programme icons are still there (I thought these might have been deleted as part of the amended new programme).  Can I now delete these WITHOUT problems?

Another query - I've also got other set-up icons there (ITunes, CC, Google Earth), a couple of them more than once - I suppose I must have been confused about the download process.  Do I need to keep these set-up programmes?

Another query (sorry about this) - can the same program be downloaded more than once (by mistake, say) so that the  programme is duplicated on the computer, or WOULD that be detected and an advice window inform you?

Thanks for any advice.1st query - The setup PROGRAMS can be safely deleted if you have already installed the program.
They are just there to install it, and serve no useful purpose after installation.
You may have just left them there after using them, most programs don't delete their setup programs after installation.

2nd query - as above.

3rd query - the same program can be downloaded and installed more than once, but generally running the setup once will install and the second time uninstall the program.  The same program cannot normally be installed twice.

Hope this helps.Calum -

Thanks for reply - advice appreciated.No problem, glad to help.
