Revo uninstaller should do it...
However you will probably get an error message during the uninstall process, just ignore it and continue with the uninstall

You can always reinstall the same version and then use Add/Remove Programs.

i did try reinstalling it but no joy so avg internet security is the one im going to use from now on or a spybot kl thx anyway man lol thx

Well you do still need a local Antivirus installed...
Neither Internet security or Spybot will protect you from Virus's
If you didnt have any love for AVG, you can always try Avast, or Anti-vir

Aviva's Anti-Vir is a good one. It was rated tenth best by PC World Magazine in 2006

Unfortunately that means very little 3 years later...
Hell now-a-days Norton is in one of the ones to beat!!!
