I am trying to uninstall AVG, but am told I must first uninstall AVG Protection but am seeing this message when I try to…
Error code: 0XE001003D
Description: Event_exec finished
I have tried restarting my laptop but still get this message.
How do I get around this?
My laptop is currently unprotected after completing a free trial of Zen and I simply want to use your free service again but this seems to be stopping me.
