Does not the first uninstall not uninstall all of AVG then?

I use Kaspersky Anti Virus 2009, it is a leading anti-virus software and Internet Security software solution for your home computer or business.

sorry to butt in as well, ive deleted avg and got avira free. on the "what security do you use" thread, it says on there that avira doesnt scan emails (last bug came via an email from a well known friend). someone kindly replied to me on there saying that the premium one checked emails. i got rid of avg as it let some bugs thru and the general opinion on here seems to be that it isnt a patch on what it used to be.

is there any good free antivirus which checks emails as well? or am i better paying for avira premium or kapersky (didnt really want to pay!).

thanks,

Avast! Home Edition (which is free) has an email scanner.

It uninstalls AVG

But leaves bits behind (And even the proper removal tool doesnt remove EVERYTHING, but it should stop anything left over from trying to run)

Hi

Does Avira check all outgoing and incoming mail messages in the same way that AVG does?

Thanks

No ~ it doesnt have an email scanner

But you can check all files you SEND by scanning them anyways. And by placing attachments on your desktop to scan then before opening them
