    ok I just got kaspersky and when I go to install it tells me to uninstall avg but when I go to uninstall I get an error code as follows

    Installer initialization failed due to following error:
    Error: Initialization of the language file "C:\Program Files\Grisoft\AVG7" failed.
    General failure.

    Hi After 2 days I finally found a tool that will uninstall AVG anti virus software,
    this piece of software is Free and a very useful tool to have so here is the link to the FREE DOWNLOAD and instructions what to do ,

    SOLUTION!

    download/install

    www.revouninstaller.com/

    after installed, install AVG again, finish installing avg, open revouninstaller, select uninstall AVG, select the highest setting for revouninstaller

    after the avg uninstaller finishes, click next in revo uninstaller, and let it finds it stuff, delete everything it finds.

    To the guys that tried to help me thank you very much :)

    cheers lockie

    Use something like YourUninstaller. It gets rid of everything.

    Thanks for the Revo tip. I will try it out.
    I can second Unreal's suggestion of YourUninstaller. I have used it for years and it always successfully uninstalls even when the application's uninstaller is not working.
