Ewido was part of AVG so have you had an earlier version of AVG installed before.

There is an AVG removal tool, find it on their web site and run it first.

Re: Installing avg 8.5

when installed the new version ages ago.
i am sure i had to use the removal tool and clean my registry with ccleaner after running the avg removal tool to get it to install.
but they have brought a more up to date version out since then so could be a new conflict the first avg 8 didnt have.
