I was uninstalling AVG (through Control Panel > Programs and Features), meanwhile my computer unfortunately turned off. After turning it on again, AVG was not listing in Programs and Features anymore. So I decided to reinstall it. AVG started saying there is another antivirus (called AVG Antivirus), so it should run in Passive Mode. It looks AVG is detecting the old installation, which was unsuccesful. How do I solve this issue?
