Answer 2

It can be fixed, follow this:

This problem appears to afflict a lot of new comers to Kaspersky recently, please try running the avg removal tool, which can be downloaded from here:

Also you may want to try deleting some of your registry keys left behind by avg.

To access the registry, type regedit in the run command.

(for vista type it in search then hit enter)

Now navigate to and delete the following keys IF they exist:

*remember only delete the last part of it, do not delete the main key, just the things marked avg*

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ Uninstall\ AVG8Uninstall

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AVG

or it may be instead

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AVG8

if you see any other entry's(keys) with avg, or avg8 or similar in them in

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ Uninstall\ your avg key name here

or

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ your avg key name here

DELETE THEM,

And lastly look in C:\Program Files and delete any avg folders you find.

Run a registry cleaner, ccleaner is good:http://www.ccleaner.com/download
