Problem with AVG 9.0 & Vista

Hi

I have a dell 1545 laptop with windows Vista loaded. Have been running AVG 8.5 free edition with no problems. Recently I received an upgrade notice to AVG 9.0 with a time limit of 1/12/09.

Tried to load this several times but stalls during upload. The last time I uninstalled AVG and downloaded/installed new version again. Downloaded fine but stalled when taking a backup prior to installation.

Can anyone help as now have no anti virus software operational.

    If it has failed a few times, it's probably best to use the AVG removal tool to get rid of it properly. You should then be able to have a good shot at installing AVG 9 (or Avast if you prefer).
