AVG Free locked in passive mode because it thinks I'm running McAfee. I've already removed McAfee and used McAfee consumer product removal tool several times. Gone through the downloaded files and removed stray McAfee executable files that it leaves behind but AVG still thinks McAfee is present. How can I get AVG out of Passive Mode? Or can I download an earlier version of AVG. 4 other computers and tablets are ok and running AVG as active.
