AVG Anti-Virus V8.0.1 Installation and Setup Guide Updated
Posted by cotojo on May 11, 2008
The following youtube videos will explain how to set up AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition v8.0.1
The first one deals with installing AVG V8, there is no need to uninstall V7.5 as this will be done automatically during the setup. It is important that you close all running programs and any open windows.
After installation you will need to reboot to complete the setup.
The second video will help you to setup AVG with timed schedules to run scans, updates and other settings required.
This video has been updated due to a few technical problems with the scanning procedures.

If you have installed AVG with the LinkScanner Toolbar with Yahoo Search and find it intrusive or you simply do not want it then go to your taskbar and right click the AVG icon, click on Open AVG User Interface to open the program. In the program window select Tools > Advanced Settings, click on LinkScanner and untick Enable AVG Search-Shield. You will need to close your browser window for the setting to take effect.
If using Firefox when you reopen your browser go to View > Toolbars > and untick AVG Security Toolbar.
If using IE go to Tools > Manage Add-ons, click Enable or Disable Add-ons, click on AVG Security Toolbar and then at bottom of window tick Disable, if there are 2 instances carry out the same procedure again then restart your browser.

Just a thought….couldn’t I just sweet talk someone into possessing my computer and doing it for me? It’s just a thought.

Tammy - If you download and install it then I can do the rest of the setup for you.
It’s a big download and after installation it requires a reboot, so if you can do that I will then sort out the rest of it okay?
Take care and have a great week,
Colin

I’m sorry to bother you again, but do I have to have the AVG toolbar thingy on here. I hate toolbars. I got it all setup, but I don’t want the toolbar if I don’t need it.
Sorry again to keep bothering you.
