Solve : Serious AVG Anti-Virus Problem? |
|
Answer» I have been putting it off, but for over a month my AVG anti-virus has not worked. AVG INTERFACE has encountered a problem and needs to close. We apologize for the inconvenience. I have AVG 8.0. I tried to uninstall it...hoping to reinstall. When I did....I got the following message Quote Installer initialization failed due to the following error:I am not allowed to uninstall. My question 1) Why is this occurring? 2) What can and should I do? THANKS!Use the AVG Remover Tool. http://www.avg.com/download-toolsOK....I did that....the AVG does not show up on my desktop or in my control panal. I have attached the avgremover.log. However when I turned on my computer I was prompted with a message stating "your computer may be at risk, avg is turned off". 1) Why is this message coming up? -AVG removed -Is there some virus keeping it? 2) If AVG is removed....why did this whole problem occur...is this just a bug anybody can get...no big issue? 3) Should I re-download AVG? As of now I have NO virus protection, so if you can help sooner...thanks! [attachment deleted by admin]Just install an antivirus. Remember to only install one antivirus! 1) Avast! Home Free Edition 2) AVG Free Edition 3) Avira AntiVir Personal OK...well I tried the new AVG 8.5 and got this message Quote C:\Documents and Settings\Trent Berger\Desktop\avg_free_stf_en_85_278a1439.exe.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read.So what's going on? Why do I keep getting these errors? What is the problem...is it AVG or my computer? Is AVG gone from computer or not? What do I need to do to flush it out and put on a new anti-virus? I thought AVG was fine...why has it been so difficult with numerous errors for over a month even after trying to uninstall and now put on a new one? It is very frustrating to have illogical errors pop up out of nowhere and remain here for months FOR NO apparent cause. Why is it I am my computer is randomly picked to have AVG, which is supposed to HELP, cause errors? Ugh....please just let me know 1) What is going on 2) Why 3) How to fix Sorry for the 'tude but I am frustrated.This is the exact REASON I stopped using AVG and went to Avast. You can try here but good luck. http://freeforum.avg.com/Alright...well I want install a new anti-virus...but first I need to know 1) Is AVG anti-virus gone from my computer? -I do not see it on my program list in the control panel -However when I start the computer a red shield alerts me that my computer might be at risk since AVG is not on -I used the link to removed AVG...and it really is inconclusive to me if it is removed. -I have attached the log below -Is AVG gone from my computer? -If not, how can I get it to be removed entirely? 2) I do not want AVG or Avast, last time I had Avast it slowed up my computer. -Are there any other good anti-virus programs you can recommend? Thanks! [attachment deleted by admin]Avira AntiVir Personal is probably the best. Other free ones are these, but I would go with Avira. Comodo Antivirus (Uncheck during installation "Install Comodo SafeSurf..", Make Comodo my default search provider" and "Make Comodo Search my homepage" if you choose this one) PC Tools AntiVirus Free EditionBefore I install a new anti-virus, I want to make certain the AVG is completely gone. 1) Is there anyway for me to see if it has been removed from the computer? 2) If it still is present, how can I go remove it?Go to C:\ > Program Files > AVG and delete the AVG folder. Done...is it all gone now and safe to install a new anti-virus program?Yes you should be able to now.Thanks! |
