Are you logged on as an administrator?
For uninstalling programs I recommend using Revo Uninstaller. Does a much better job than Windows. http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninst...e_download.html Also, do you have something in mind to replace Grisoft? You'll need to have it downloaded and saved so you can install it right away. This post has been edited by Bartster: May 6 2008, 05:18 PM |

I presume you mean Avg?
Have you disabled it before trying to uninstall? |

AVG has been disabled and another antivirus program was installed.I still could not delete all of the AVG files without special permission.

I'd expect that you'd have to take ownership of the files before being able to give special permissions. But since you're going to delete them, once you've taken ownership you should be able to delete them anyway.
Right click on the file and select Properties, then click on the Security tab, then on the Advanced button Then click on the Owner tab, then on the Edit button. Then double click on your user name, then click on Apply, then on OK in order to take ownership. Exit the dialog and you should be able to delete the files. -------------------- - John
