I tried a simple uninstall & delete of AVG;
At XP startup it tells me that my licence has run out (it has but i dont intend to renew it) so i:
- ran setup.exe -> Uninstall program -> apparantly successful but a restart tells me the licence still needs renewing
- Remove Items in Ctrl Panel -> it went to same setup.exe prog, same result
- tried deleteing the whole AVG folder -> Access Denied, some exe & dll files are apparantly write protected or in use (in admin)
- stopped avg processes in task manager
- try first 3 again, no progress
- restart in safe mode, try first 4 again. AVG was not visible in ctrl panel and processes not running, however i still cant delete the folder (access still denied or in use)
- deleted grisoft and avg folders from docs&settings/allusers
- try first 3 again, no progress
- update 7.1->7.5 (DLoad->AVG site) ->retry all the above
- used regedit to delete AVG from ctrl panel -> removed from ctrl panel but cant delete, access denied. Any other ideas?
