Uninstalling Anti Virus

The AVG anti virus free trial has ended so I have tried to remove the program

using the 'unistall a program' feature on my laptop. It seem to remove

sucessfully but when checking the security, it still shows AVG as

running....Is there anything you can suggest to remove the program before I

install a new anti virus??

Make sure all the AVG services have been stopped, deactivated and removed

from your system. Do this by running 'services.msc' from the start menu

search box, you need administrator privileges. You may have to reinstall AVG

first, then kill the services before uninstalling.

Please report back if the problem persists.

Try rebooting, and see if it is still running. Sometimes cleanup is

performed on reboot.

Why not continue to use AVG Free?

Additionally, uninstalling while in Safe Mode may help.

I think the free trial of the commercial version reverts to the free version

on expiry....
