Install AVG Free

I have downloaded the new free AVG 8 from a number of sites but when I try to install them I keep getting the message "File is Corrupt" This is a newer version of what I have used for the last couple of years and before I tried to install the new one I've 'purged' my PC of all references to the older version.

Did you use the AVG removal tool to remove the old installation?

http://www.avg.com/download-tools - removal tool can be downloaded from here.

If you still have no luck why not try one of the other free anti-virus software?

personally I use Avira AntiVir - It is fantastic I really recommend it

I know of many people who rave equally about Avast antivirus….

in fact many people rate AVG third behind those two

I also use Avira AntiVir. It consumes a lot less resources than AVG 8 (no E-mail scanner though) but it does have a nag screen that pops up rather often. There is a way to get rid of it that I can post if interested.

thehawk70. You have come to the best forum with lots to read and learn…enjoy. I can recommend Avast Home Edition as I have it on my systems. kind regards,

thehawk, I had a similar problem with AVG not installing. Unfortunately I never got it to work, my dad eventually re-installed the OS due to other problems and in doing that it fixed it, but I don't think you want to do that just for AVG.
