Important – getting startedBefore beginning the installation process, you need to uninstall any previous AVG protection or any other antivirus software you may have on your PC.

Additional antivirus products do not mean additional protection – they mean additional problems from software conflicts.

Uninstalling previous AVG installations is easy; simply follow the uninstall guidelines on the AVG tab in the Windows Start menu.

When you restart your PC, ensure that the small AVG icon is no longer in the system tray in the bottom-right corner of your screen (next to the clock). To uninstall any other products, simply follow their guidelines.

Compatibility and requirementsBefore you start your installation, you should check to make sure that your PC is equipped to run AVG 2013.

TroubleshootingWhat if the installation does not start automatically?

Click on the My Computer icon on your Desktop or on My Computer in the Start Menu.

Double-click on the DVD drive icon. This will display the names of all the files on the disk.

Open the folder named \Win\Client.

Double-click on the executable (.exe) installation file. The file with “x86” in its name is for 32-bit operating systems and the file with “x64” in its name is for 64-bit operating systems. If you are unsure which installation file you should use, click on the Windows Start Menu and search for System Information. Open the System Information component and you will see your system type in the System Type section.

Follow the on-screen instructions until installation is complete.

Get your AVG remotely installed & set up for you The easiest way to get up and running is to have one of our experts remotely install your software for you. For a small fee, one of our experts will securely and remotely connect to your computer. They can remove any old antivirus software you may have, install your AVG software and correctly set it up.
