I previously had a version of Trend Micro installed on my computer, but it quit working without warning or explanation. I never really like it anyway, so I disabled it and tried AVG, which gave me problems. I found that Cox internet has a free online virus scanner from McAfee, and began to install that. Now I am receiving a message that I must remove AVG Anti-Virus 7.1 because it conflicts with McAfee. I cannot find AVG anywhere in add/remove programs… I have no trace of it on my computer, and I disabled it from FireFox (after finding the answer here about the warning message on opening FireFox.)
So, anyway, I’m finding this to be a real pain. Does anyone have any suggestiongs?

suggestiongs is Typonian for Suggestions… :smack:
There’s a removal tool available here.
Thank you so much. I was so sure it was going to work, but it’s still telling me I need to remove it… I don’t understand where this program could be residing on my computer. It’s a ghost…? 
Reinstall AVG. Do a reboot if it asks. Once its installed properly then goto add/remove programs and remove it.
Also if trend micro is still on there, uninstall that first. Never have more than one AV on a computer.
Lastly, the installer for McAfee might be bugged and think AVG is on there when it isnt. If thats the case then you should try a different AV product, or try the current version of AVG. Supposedly theyve made some changes and that might work for you.
