Hello John,
We apologize for the inconvenience.
We are sorry to know that you are unable to run the AVG remover tool, in this case, we suggest you to restart the computer in safe mode and then run the AVG remover tool from safe mode and that should remove the AVG prorgam completely from your computer.
Thank you.
I am also getting this same error, and as this a "hand-me-down" computer with everything wiped, this error appears when trying to open ARG, Foxit Reader, Open Office and Team Viewer. This does not seem to effect Google Crome, VLC media player or skype.
As per previous posts, I have tried to uninstall ARG, but when it gets to "do you want changes to your computer", I click Yes and nothing happens.
Unfortunately the cat weed on my last computer so having these hastles
Thankyou,
Will
