Installation on Windows 7 laptop

Hello Keith,
We regret for the inconvenience. Please click the link http://download.avg.com/filedir/util/AVG_BFEfix.exe and do not restart your computer. Download and run AVG Clear tool: https://share.avg.com/steam/PSP/AVG2017/AVG_Clear.exe. This tool will help with removing antivirus component of AVG 2017 and its traces.

Open tool
User Account control - click "Yes"
Windows safe mode - click "No" (we cannot recommend use the tool in safe mode, because there is a problem with compability)
Choose installed version (AVG Free, AVG Internet Security)
Click "Uninstall"
Click "Restart computer"

Once you restart please click the link to install the AVG free updated version http://files-download.avg.com/inst/mp/Antivirus_Free_1817.exe
Thank you.
