Hi Trevuren,

Well, I did all the steps but still came up with the same error when attempting to delete the grisoft folder:
Cannot delete avgse.dll. Access denied. The source file may be in use. What the heck? Anyway, the AVG didn't reload coming back from safe mode to regular, which is what I know we were wanting, but now I'm online without protection. :tazz:
Should I try to delete as much of the AVG as possible and then attempt to download the whole shebang again? Ack! This stuff can be so frustrating!

I've posted the latest Hijack This below. Thanks for sticking with me.

Please try going into Safe Mode, do a Search for that file, right click on it and make sure that no attributes are checked off, then try to delete it.

By all means, delete whatever you can at this point

Hi Trevuren,

I'm not sure what you meant by "make sure that no attributes are checked off." How would I look for that? I'm going to go delete all I can and check back here later. Thanks!

1. You right click on the file and from there a mini window opens.

2. Choose "Properties"

3. Check to make sure that none of the three little boxes at the bottom of that mini window are checked.

Here's the latest, Trevuren,

I went into safe mode again and deleted all the AVG files except that one .dll that wouldn't budge. Under properties, the archive box was checkmarked, which I unchecked, but that didn't help.

I downloaded AVG free again and installation seemed to be going great until the very end. Got two error messages that I won't bother to post, because I rebooted and attempted the installation again, this time checking custom installation. It worked!!! Yeehaw - AVG is running once again! :tazz:

The Ewido scan I ran last night was still all clear, too.

Now should I even concern myself with ZoneAlarm's issues or just call it a month? lol

Thank, T, you're super!

It has been such a long saga that I no longer remember what your issues were with ZoneAlarm. Please refresh my memory.
