Hi Bill here is a good anti virus that doesn't use much memory www.avast.com Should work way better than AVG

Thanks but dont understand why I would get "error" not able to upload after months of using AVG with no issues

Have you tried contacting their support at https://sfree.avg.com/us-en/support with specifics like OS, RAM, exact error message, etc.? Probably have better luck there than here. Personally I switched to MS Security Essentials, it's free as well and seems to catch as many bugs and AVG and Avast did - plus I don't have to 'renew' it every year and it's not as intrusive.

I second switching it Avast. I had the same problem updating that you have with AVG. My machine runs much faster with Avast than it did with AVG.

Don't you just love a catch-all error message?

OK great I will switch......this is an old desktop we dont use much but need it for certain stuff .......... hopefully the uninstall will be clean

Yes " General Error " what the hell does that mean

Thanks for the help

You might want to try running the AVG in safe mode and see if it'll run.
Occasionally ,a virus will stop the functions of an AV product.


If you still want to remove AVG , download and run Revo Uninstaller.
It removes everything associated with the program your removing -if you follow the directions

you might have some kind of mal-ware that avg did not catch, and has been hijacked. happened to my uncle, i had to wipe his operating system. even going back through 8 months of system recovery did not work. AVG has gone very commericalized. If you ware running windows, try Microsoft Security Essentials, free product and very good.
