    What operating system do you have?

    You say you removed it in two ways, can you explain this a little?

    If you have uninstalled it sometimes you just need a reboot for it to work!

    Cheers guys, i followed advice for the removal tool, it said i had removed avg 8 so i went back to the google page n found this addy which explained why it would not load...

    anyhow it worked (i dont know how i did it tbh) but hey im well chuffed with this security ma comp is running much faster than the avg security and at a third the price.

    goodbye avg and hello kaspersky

    cheers again

    You should never have been paying for AVG anyways. The AVG firewall is full of holes
