There must be some parts of AVG 8 still on my computer if so how do I remove them as kaspersky seems to get extremely good reviews and I would like to have it on my computer. It is a HP Laptop with 250gb hard drive and is only a few months old running windows Vista. It has all the specs for running kaspersky. I would be grateful for any help or suggestions. As a last resort I suppose I can ask for my money back but it would not surprise me if software is a category that Tesco do not do refunds on.

There is this tool which should remove all aspects of AVG from your system.

Also, with most AV & firewall programs, you will need to reboot immediately after uninstalling. Just mentioning it in case you haven't.

Wish I knew about the tool.
I manually went through the registry deleting entries which looked AVG related.
It worked, but probably safer to use the tool though

With my own machine I just used Revo Uninstaller, cleaned up with CCleaner and re-booted prior to installing Kaspersky and all went OK.
I tend to use Revo for all programme removal now - luckily had no problems up to press.

I have mainly written this to thank you fellows for pointing me in right direction and for others who may read this and have a similar problem. If you do not drink omit the whisky just in case you end up wiping your hard drive completely

For future reference, could you let us all know which brand of whisky.
Well done on the lateral thinking!

It's a super little software programme - I never use the Windows uninstaller now.
Well done - hope that you get on OK with Kaspersky - possibly you might need another double whisky to get your head around it.
I've had the security suite for about 3 months now and still don't understand it - I just leave it to get on with things without my help/interference.
Only thing that I have had to do is to fix the vulnerabilities which pop up on scanning from time to time and are usually related to Java and Flash. If this happens to you, would recommend that you uninstall the old version with Revo and reinstall the new one. Sometimes I have applied the new patch but KIS still throws it up as vulnerable. Seems to behave itself when I have completed the aforementioned procedure.
