When I try to uninstall using programs and features (window Vista basic) I get the following ...Installer initialization failed due to following error:
Error: @AvgErrorCode_0x0253 %FILE% = ''C:Program FilesAVGAVG8''
@AvgErrorCode_0x0020
Therefore I need to find out how I manualy uninstall AVG.
A bye product of this malfunction is AVG is no longer active on my Laptop, every time I either use a Desk top icon or access a Web page I get the following ...''access violation at address 6CB616B7 in module 'AVGTOO~1.DLL', read of address 00000004.'' so I click OK, I then get a blank warning page displayed, after clicking the ''OK'' button I am able to proceed to my desired page.
Please help

Smartray83,
Tried the link, however having downloaded the Removal tool, I am not able to open aplication, when I select open, the files just disapears.I also tried to download revo unistaller but the same happened the download just disapears.
I no longer get the ''access violation at address 6CB616B7 in module 'AVGTOO~1.DLL', read of address 00000004.'' , it has changed to "AVG security toolbar was unnable to conect with AVG 8.0"
Any sugestions anyone?
thanks in advance

Looks like a certain toolbar feature was included with the AVG that wants to keep starting. Go to Start button, then Control Panel. In the control panel, click Classic View on the left, open up Internet Options and click the Programs Tab on the top of the Internet Options Box that opens up.
Then click the Manage Add-Ons button. Beside the word "Show:", check under each option from the dropdown menu (Add-ons that have been used, Add-ons currently loaded, etc) and in the box below the Show menu, left click to highlight anything that says AVG, then click the round button near the botton to Disable that add-on.
Also check your Control Panel > Programs And Features for anything that mentions an AVG Toolbar as it was possibly separately installed and has it's own Uninstall Listing in the Programs and Features.
If those don't help, you can try this:
You can try to download and install the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
Download and install the Cleanup Utility, then start the program from your Programs list.
***Be careful with this tool...you do not want to remove the wrong things or use the Remove All button, or no/most programs will not work anymore***
After you start the program, browse down the list and anything you see listed with AVG, left click to highlight the item then click the Remove Selected button at the bottom.
Hopefully this removes any traces of the installed AVG.
