Unspecified Error in Running AVG 2012

I understand how frustrating it is (especially with anti-virus) when after using a certain program for a long time you will suddenly encounter an error message after getting it’s updated.  However, there are some instances that there may have been conflicts, thus the error message pops-up afterwards.  AVG issues are usually resolved by completely removing it from your system and reinstalling it. Here are the proper steps to follow to have it uninstalled totally before reinstalling it:

1. Uninstall AVG from the Add/Remove Programs
2. Restart your computer
3. Use the AVG Removal Tool to remove the traces of AVG. The AVG Removal Tool is available through https://www.avg.com/en-us/utilities
4. Restart your computer once more
5. Install the AVG latest available download from https://www.avg.com/en-ww/download
