Uninstall current AVG. 

You must first download AVG uninstall/cleanup utility here: AVG Remover 2012 (32 bit & 64 bit version).

 

For Vista or Windows 7, remember to right-click on it and choose "Run as Administrator".

 

AVG remover must be finished completely – stopping of AVG services may take more time.

 

Remove these folders after restart:

 

Windows XP

C:Program FilesAVG or C:Program files(x86)AVG (for 64bit OS)

C:Documents and settingsAll usersApplication dataAVG8

C:Documents and settingsAll usersApplication dataAVG9

C:Documents and settingsAll usersApplication dataAVG10

C:Documents and settingsAll usersApplication dataAVG2012

 

Windows Vista/7

C:Program FilesAVG or C:Program files(x86)AVG (for 64bit OS)

C:ProgramDataAVG8

C:ProgramDataAVG9

C:ProgramDataAVG10

C:ProgramDataAVG2012

C:Users<user>AppDataRoamingAVG8

C:Users<user>AppDataRoamingAVG9

C:Users<user>AppDataRoamingAVG10

C:Users<user>AppDataRoamingAVG2012

 

 

Then download the latest AVG offline installation file here https://www.avg.com/en-ww/free-antivirus-download and run it.

 

Follow the wizard to install AVG 2012.
