Im downloading a trial version of Kaspersky. It found another application of a anti virus (AVG) and told me to uninstall it so I did (on add/remove programs) and it keeps reappearing. I can't get rid of the anti virus it just keeps reattaching itself.

Use the AVG Removal Tool.
AVG Antivirus and Security Software - Tools download (http://www.avg.com/download-tools)

Would need to delete some values in registry if the uninstall tool did not work

Using the Registry Editor
If you are not comfortable with editing the registry, I would not recommend but suggest to have a friend or someone you know and trust to make these changes. It is a minor edit but still would not recommend if not comfortable.


Start, run and type regedit
Hit Enter

-Go to edit
-Click on Find Next
-In search box, type AVG and hit "OK or search"

When it finds something, right click on what becomes highlighted and choose Delete and say OK
-Hit F3
-Repeat above - right click on what becomes highlighted and choose Delete and say OK

Hit F3 and repeat this process until it says Finished searching the registry
-Close registry

Install Kaspersky
