It's better than AVG.

What probs are you having with AVG8? I have had none. Auto updates working
well. Real-time protection perfect. Why the need to reinstall it? Curious. |

Get the stick to your son. AVG8 updates itself to even newer versions.
I never tried to uninstall it but if I had a prob doing it I would clear all entries
manually in folders and registry. But I am pretty unorthodox about my procedures.
Good luck and let me know if I can help. |

This is the reason I left AVG. If you have any other security programs installed you might try uninstalling them before installing AVG. That's what they suggest on their forums. Ridiculous!

When I installed 8 over 7.? I removed/uninstalled nothing and it worked like a champ. 
Again, the difference between machines, hardware, and software may strike some.
Go figure. |

Did you try this AVG Remover? 
Work on it when you feel better as most things go much smoother when in good state of mind.
Cheers.  |
