In the course of trialling a number of small business AV products ( used Webroot up to now) I installed various products and was always careful to use the products uninstaller tool where available to remove it before trying another product. One of the products I trialled was AVG Business Edition and in due course used the AVG uninstaller tool to uninstall ( tried in both normal and safe mode) . However I now notice that Windows security centre is reporting AVG to be switched off i.e. it thinks AVG is still installed and on further examination I see that I do indeed have an AVG folder in program files with a considerable number of "exe" files in a subfolder AV. How can I completely remove all traces of AVG ?
@jjc225 - thanks but that is the uninstall tool I was already using . In the meantime I have resolved the matter by re-installing AVG then uninstalling it in the normal way from Control Panel - not sure why the tool doesnt itself seem to do a full install or perhaps I just had a part-install left which confused the issue. Still have a few of items in the AVG Program folder but they are all empty folders which I can manually delete.
@MCsquared Check the Windows\System32\Drivers folder to see if there are any remaining AVG drivers there. I uninstalled AVG and ran the removal too, but there were still leftover files I needed to delete myself.
