How Can I Remove Avast From My Computer And Replace It With Avg?

[anotheoldgit]

I ask this because since I changed from AVG to Avast, I have experienced certain problems.

what OP are you on?
Chrome?
if so, go into settings (the dots on top left of the screen) and disable.

Never a good idea to have to anti-viruses running together.

If not chrome, please come back and let us know what OP etc you are running

Download, install & run Avastclear:
https://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility

Use the green download button for AVG here:
https://www.avg.com/en-gb/ppc/protection-ultimate-vs-free
Run the file to install it.

As Chris says make sure avast is completely gone 1st

Thank you for all your answers.

I am using firefox.

Thank you once again Buenchico, but how can I be sure that avast has been completely removed as Bernie has kindly advised?

[albaqwerty]

have you gone into any 'add-ons' aog?

I found getting rid of Avast a total nightmare, would linger in the back-ground and re-surface.
Will ask on of the younger alba's when they get home unless you get a better answer earlier, which I'm sure you will.

ooops, 'one' not 'on'
apologies.

Thank you alba I look forward to any help the younger albas are willing to offer.

hi AOG if you used the avast uninstall utility it should have completely removed avast altogether

[albaqwerty]

AOG, asked one of them last night (other one wasn't available)
He suggested what Berniecuddles2 has said, but said to restart your computer afterwards.

Do hope it's all sorted now.
