There is a Save option in the MSE File Download dialog, so you can first
save the executable set-up and installation files before you remove Avast.
When I first installed MSE, I saved the files in My Documents, then removed
AVG and then initiated the MSE Set-up and Installation from the saved files.
Be careful, because I understand that trying to remove Avast can be tricky,
which is one of the reasons I never tried it.

Gerald,
I have been contemplating switching to MSE but still have
Avast. When you click on the link you discuss, does it
download the file as an executable file you can keep on your
computer and then launch and install when ready or does it
simply download and install the current version from the
website? The reason I ask is I would have to uninstall Avast
first and would not want to do that and then have to go out
on the web unprotected to download MSE
thanks
Al

Once again, just click on one of the three links in the body
of the article
on the following web page, and your download of MSE will
start immediately.
Maybe David can add them to the JAWS Userws programs page.

Yes, you first need to uninstall AVG Free Edition before
installing
AVGInternet Security. And you also need to disable
Windows Firewall so
that it does not conflict with the AVG firewall. But you
can continue to
use Windows Defender with AVG Internet Security. I
recently dumpedAVG
Network Edition (paid version) in favor of Microsoft
Security Essenttials
, which is free and outscord AVG at virus detection in a
recent
comparison test of leading anti-virus programs.

Hi everyone,
I have heard much discussion about antivirus programs on
this list, so I
figured someone could give me a good answer.
I am currently using AVG Free 8.5 and Windows Defender.
I have been told
that this does not really offer a good firewall.
I am thinking of upgrading to AVG Internet Security,
which I understand
meets this need.
Does anyone have any good advice?
Secondly, if I already have the AVG free edition in my
laptop, do I need
to uninstall this before installing the AVG Internet
Security?
Thanks much,
Russ
