PC is windows 8.1 I install AVG free antivirus, it shows installed in programs, yet it doesn't appear on the computer, no icon in tray, and no shortcut on desktop either. When I go to uninstall AVG it says "You do not have sufficient access to uninstall" then I have to download an AVG uninstaller and boot into safe mode to get it off. Any clue why I can't get the antivirus to actually work? Same applies to Avast as I tried it as well.
I tried downloading Malwarebytes to see if it was doing what AVG and Avast are doing, Malwarebytes installed fine [though I don't have a trial, guess I used it in the past] but it shows up in tray and on desktop and uninstalls with no problems.
Any help is appreciated.
