Install AVG gives conflicting anti-spyware product detected
Tuesday, March 31st, 2009During the install of AVG it gives a conflicting anti-spyware product detected error message and will not install. The message then goes on to say: “Setup had detected ewido anti-spyware or ewido anti-malware installed on your computer. Anti-spyware protection is now included in AVG. In order to proceed with installation, you will have to uninstall the previous anti-spyware product first”
I checked add/remove programs and I did not see any reference in there to ewido anti-virus / anti-malware, but I did find a key for it in the registry. Once I deleted the the “HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\ewido anti-spyware” registry entry I was able to install AVG with out any further problems.
