It gets to the end of the download but tells me there was an unexpected error.
Also, I can't find AVG or GRISOFT when i go into Control Panel => Install/uninstall programs.

I've got Symantec client security on the pc too but that won;t woirk which is why I wanted to get AVG free in it's place until I get a replacement Symantec disk from the shop where I bought it from

Any help gratefully received

You should uninstall Symantec first as they could be conflicting. If you still get the error post up the full error message

Try using ErrorExpert. It can help you uninstall unwanted programs.

Well I did install error expert but of course it wants me to cough up $30 after it cleans 1 of the 2000 "errors" it finds.,

I tried to install AVG again anyway and this time it worked.

That's the good news.

The bad news is that since I uninstalled Error Expert I'm now getting Drivecleaner pop-ups. Is there a connection I wonder ? Naturally Drivcleaner is not in the list of programs that I can uninstall and a search of the whole C drive doesn't find it either.

Hi Essex Hammer,

That is a malware infection. please follow PCHF Prework (link below) and post back with the spysweeper report, avg report and a Hijackthis log. Then our security analysts will help you
