Hi,

recently i noticed that avg doesnt apear on my icon tray thingey, and avg wasnt on, when i opend it, it still didnt leave the icon there, and it hadnt done a virus scan allready for a few days and i didnt even notice (i thought that its still working but i guess not). so i tried to uninstall it, and then install it again (i downloaded the newest version of it), but then when the install was complete it said: Error: action failed for file avgamsvr.exe... no such file or directory.
and i dont know whats the problem. i also tried to install AntiVir and the files that didnt succeed in the installetion were:
basic/avgnt.exe
basic/avguard.exe
basic/guardgui.exe
basic/sched.exe
basic/update.exe

currently im not using any antivirus cuz it just wont install it for me! please help!!
thankyou

Hello and welcome to the forum,

Are you using the free version of AVG?
As far as I know the free version was discontinued last week, although if you are looking for a good free alternative try this

never mind, thanks for your help, i looked into it more and found out i had m_hook.sys and i fixed it and now its okay!

You sure the free version is being discontinued as im still using it and it updated as usual today.

What abt Norton or Mcafee antivus...?

Fos,

Please read the date of the thread before you post your idea...This thread is most probably inactive or solved thread...

Hi,
If you are looking out for a free antivirus software download an older version of avg and try installing that.

Or if you want you could try using the free trial version of eScan AV by MicroWorld Tech. Inc.

This is the antivirus I used to get rid of the same problem I had with Mcafee.

Try to install eScan AV and run a scan of your system and delete or quarantine all harmful content. Once this is done try installing avg again and uninstall it to get rid o0f all the damaged files.

I suggest you use escan as it is a much more stable program using lower system resources as compared to most of the other Antivirus softwares
