Mike please do as VistaKing has requested. Remove AVG whether you paid for it or not. Until you are fixed just use Microsoft Security Essentials. After you are fixed you can choose what ever anti virus program your heart desires.
One anti virus program at a time on one computer. Disabling AVG is not good enouth; remove it.

sorry about that, went to get rid of avg and i could not get on the internet anymore. Had to use recovery.
So should i get rid of avg or the microsoft one?

 

[Mike1957]

ok, will do

did u figure out how to remove avg without losing internet?

 

[Mike1957]

finally

 

[VistaKing]

why would you loose internet removing AVG ?

 

[d00p98uy]

idk, he said he had to do a restore to get it back, hopefully we don't have to go thru too much again

 

[Mike1957]

don't know, after i did a recovery i got rid of avg and updated adobe and when i tried to log back in to google i had to resign in to get on, oh well i am on now and the explorer window just popped up . Also for some reason a program loaded on my screen called Rich Media Player, it came up the 1st time i tried to get avg off and when i went to uninstall it that is when i had the problem..it's still there

Copy and paste the code below into Notepad. To open Notepad, click on rb: . Inside

type notepad and then press <ENTER> button .

@Echo off

In Notepad, click File and then Save. Type reset.bat inside file name section . Change Save as Type to All Files, and then save the file to your desktop. After the file is saved, right click on the RESET.bat choose

. Once it's finished running, restart your computer. Check to see if your Internet connection is restored.

 

[VistaKing]

If you don't need it uninstall it .

Rich Media Player, that is .

 

[Mike1957]

Do i still need to do that since i am back on now or is that is incase something is missing?

 

[VistaKing]

If you're fine Internet wise you may skip that .

idk if we've recommended anything for Uninstalling software, but many people like revo, while I like IOBit Toolbox's uninstaller, just look thru your programs with these and remove any programs you don't need

Revo: http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html

IOBit Toolbox: Download IObit Toolbox 1.2 (dont worry IOBit uploads many of their software thru this site)

 

[VistaKing]

I personally wouldn't install IObit software .


Is the window still popping up ?

 

[d00p98uy]

The only thing i wont use from them is the registry cleaner, I use CCleaner for that, but other than that, that toolkit is one of the most valuable tools on my flash drive

 

[d00p98uy]

but yes that's the question, is the window still popping up?

 

[Mike1957]

yes, still popping
