Welcome to PC Help Forum

Can you tell us a little bit more about the problems...specifically the details of the error messages you are receiving?

In the mean time, why not use an online scanner? Free online antivirus. ActiveScan. Panda Software

hi when i try to install avg i get this message. Local machine: installation failed
Installation:
Error: Action failed for file avgamsvr.exe: creating file....
No such file or directory

ive tryed panda online scan it installs the scanner but when it comes to actually scanning it either crashes or shuts down my internet explorer
when i had avast i'd click on the shortcut and the searching torch would come on and it could'nt find the exe file i tried reinstalling but nothing helps .Thanks for the responce
