Hi all, I really want to uninstall AVG 8.0.437 (FREE edition), but it wouldn't: everytime I lunch the program's uninstaller (or using the Windows Add/Remove PROGRAMS) it always tells me Uninstall failed, 1 error occured, and that is...
Local machine: installation failed
Installation:
Error: Action failed for file avgemc.exe: creating backup....
Error 0x80070002 %DESTINATION% = "C:\Program Files\AVG\AVG8\avgemc.exe.install_backup_1", %SOURCE% = "C:\Program Files\AVG\AVG8\avgemc.exe"
Please TELL me what to do! I use Windows XP Home Edition SP2, and I don't wanna start hating AVG: it's great, but let me have the choice. Thanks.Try Revo Uninstallerthanks Allan, that was fast! Revo lunches the program's built-in uninstaller then removes the UNNECESSARY values, so TECHNICALLY the problem is the same. Sorry, no use for Revo here.

Oh thanks again, Allan, it's http://forums.avg.com/ww-en/avg-free-forum?sec=thread&act=show&id=44013#post_44013
and now I can tell the truth: I'll never install it again!I'm not an advocate of free anti virus software, but if that's what you are going to use I'd suggest either Avast or Avira.
