Everyone who has AVG Anti Virus installed on their PC and Laptop are getting prompted to upgrade. I took the plunge and proceeded to upgrade from AVG 8.5 Free. Things did not go smoothly! After reviewing error messages, attempting several times and reviewing AVG's site and Technical Forums I decided to totally remove the application and all traces of it's files and install Avast Home Edition, a free Anti Virus application. I have been using successfully on my laptop for over 12 months so I was comfortable with that application (and has been rated as #1 or #2 ahead of AVG in the reviews of free AV programs).
Then ... should one NOT install AVG? - no it's OK. Here's is what I suggest if you do and upgrade to AVG 9.0 Free and you have a problem.
If you receive errors ... remove all AVG components using AVG Remover application (download form here and follow prompts) http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Uninstallers/AVG-Remover.shtml and start from scratch.
