Method 2 worked like a charm! Thanks for the advice.
ReplyDeleteI followed the steps; method 1 failed. During method 2 installation process, after selecting 'uninstall', there was an error message[avgmfx86.sys stopping service...service avgmfx86 failed to progress during stopping at checkpoint 0 {wait hint 10000ms) in 90247 ms.] I clicked OK to proceed anyway. After restart, avg was removed. But I am not sure that error message will give me any problem in future. Would someone with this knowledge advise me please.
ReplyDeletei cant install AVG8, Have gone through the steps to uninstall and seems to have removed all traces of the old install, but will not re-install. Here is the error message at the end of the install routine.... stops at that point:
ReplyDeleteLocal machine: installation failed
Installation:
Error: Action failed for registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows: creating registry key....
Error 0x80070005
If anyone get error message then plz go to the installation location of AVG. Then remove "AVG" folder. I think it works.
