Removing AVGFree software

[vomacka]

I am going to be removing AVG FREE from an older (Win95) system. However, I read that I also have to remove a program (that AVG installed) called "Visual Studio 2012 X86 Redistributables".

Has anyone had any trouble removing these two programs before? I have heard that I also should use the AVG program remover tool to remove all traces of AVG.

Any advice before I start removing these programs? Which one should I remove first?

IMO, the Redistributable can remain w/o any adverse effects.

Hi I highly recommended a program called "Everything" It will find any files left over after you use the AVG removal program.

Since I don't have any use for Visual Studio, I will remove it.
Right after I remove AVG.

I use revo to remove any program(s) I get rid of. Never any problem

Hi It's better to use the AVG tool and then use Everything to find a few files that get left behind. This tool was designed by AVG. I have used it several times.

Hi! @learninmypc Thanks for the link. Everything is a great program. It will find files on your External drive also. I have used it for a long time, to clean up files left behind after REVO, which is a excellent program also. I'm a clean PC freak. When I uninstall a program, I make sure it's all uninstalled. I even go into regedit and remove all left over entries, but I don't recommend that unless you are a experienced Computer user. Give everything a look. I'm sure you will really like it. Here's a screen shot that shows all CCleaner files.
