Anti-Virus Advice
May 6th, 2010Previously Elite Tech Services Recommended AVG (FREE) Version as an alternative to the Pricey Norton & McAfee. Well here lately I have noticed the Failure of AVG to meet the Demands I want for an Anti Virus Solution and have moved my Stance on Free Alternatives for Anti Virus options to Microsoft Security Essentials. They have cleaned numerous Issues that AVG has Failed to detect & clean. So if you have AVG Free and want to convert to the Microsoft Security Essentials. Follow the steps below to remove AVG from your PC & Download the Microsoft Security Essentials Program. Steps are as follows:
- Go to Start
- Go to Control Panel
- Go to Add Remove Programs (XP) Go to Programs – Uninstall Software (Vista/7)
- Find AVG in the list and select it
- Click on Remove
- Once you have removed it and it asks you to reboot the PC you can either reboot it now or wait and install the New AntiVirus in the next step it doesn’t matter how you do it.
- Navigate with your browser to the following link. Microsoft Security Essentials.
- Click the Download Now
- Choose your Language & Windows Version
- It will pop up the download for the Program Either Run or Save the file & then run. Again either way is good.
- Follow the instructions on the Installer & after its completed Reboot.
- After reboot Attempt to update the Antivirus Program and run a scan to make sure your PC is Officially clean after the uninstall of AVG.
