Cannot uninstall AVG 7.5

Options
I have tried to install the new AVG 9 but ahve already had the 7.5 version.
When I try to uninstall it, it comes up with Installation failed and then when I click on the details, this message comes up

Installer initialization failed due to following error:
Error: Initialization of the language file "C:\Program Files\Grisoft\AVG7" failed.
General failure.

How can I get rid of it ?

    Im actually quite concerned your av is so far out of date

    Id run the removal tool as Donnie provided, then id check for nasties BEFORE installing AVG 9

    Download MALWAREBYTES (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')
    http://www.filehippo.com/download_malwarebytes_anti_malware/
    Open malwarebytes and goto UPDATE and click 'check for updates'. After its updated goto SCANNER and click PERFORM FULL SCAN then click SCAN
    Post the COMPLETE log here AFTER youve deleted everything it finds

    If it's the free version of AVG you plan on installing, I would instead use something else like antivir (from personal experiences).
  • Many thanks for your help. I have been away for a while, so have only just done this.
