Thanks Rich....That worked perfectly. For future reference, the three AVG processes I stopped/ended were as follows: AVGUPSVC.EXE, AVGAMSVR.EXE & AVGEMC.EXE. I used the uninstall option and it worked fine and I was also able to successfully install version 8.0. Once again, you guys came through for me. You can consider this matter closed. Thanks again!
