[How to Un-Install AVG]

When I meant reboot, I should have stated once the update was added, I have to reboot my computer for it to take effect. Is that normal?

[How to Un-Install AVG]

I think AVG has seen it's better days what with the every day updates and having to reboot constantly (my machine, anyway)

 

I would like to un-install it, but it appears to be a daunting task. My REMOVE/AD won't delete it and I'm afraid to delete it manually.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Also: Is AntiVir the "new" free Anti-Virus to use?

 

Thanks

[Don't forget your Windows Updates!]

I have Windows 98, IE 6.

 

I cannot download updates, especially 2 critical updates for OE. My IE and OE have been corrupted and have many problems with lock ups, programs not responding, dial up, etc.

 

I ran my anti-spyware and anti-virus with no detections. I ran Trojan Hunter with no trojans reported. However, I ran A-Squared Trojan detector and it reported numerous trojans, macros, and worms (false positives?) Something is not jiving here. Has anyone heard of any hacker compromising OE?

 

And any suggestions on what I can do?

 

Thanks
