    well, i;m trying to install kaspersky 2009 and when i click the install the express installation, its said to delete a incompatible software, and thats AVG 8, well, i search my entire system and it still detecting AVG 8, so... any solution for that?

    i read in the internet that i need to use a shreder or something like that program that permanently delete the file, but the problem is, i might delete everything...

    Uninstall AVG using add/remove programs in control panel, and then reboot.

    Try running CCleaner.

    indeed, it deletes registry files and stuff like that, which is most likely the source of your problem.

    www.ccleaner.com - it says what it does, and the download link is there as well.

    also, in the future, use revo uninstaller (www.revouninstaller.com). when in uninstalls something, it does a deep scan on your hard drive for leftover files.
