    Hi all

    I have downloaded Kaspersky Antivirus free trial version and started to install it prior to which I already uninstalled AVG 8.0 and restarted the computer. But still it is showing an error saying that there is some incompatible software due to which it cannot be installed. So again I restarted my computer. But still the same problem is persisting. Is there any one who can sort this out?:confused:

    Just Kill any Process that pertains to Avast from Task Manager.

    No this is the correct way. I tried using task Manager yielded no result. I this way and found two registries related to AVAST and AVG. Removed both. Installation completed smoothly. Thank you ShamsiOwnz :)
