    Dear Raymond,

    I want to uninstall Avg8 free edition from my computer. In doing so, there is an error "Installer initialization failed due to the following error:
    Warning: Internal error. Dialog with id "Avg4EsDlg" was not found in the setup." Can you help me please? Thank you very much.

    regards,

    zewdu

    Unfortunately, at this time Grisoft, the maker of AVG, does not have an uninstall utility for AVG. The recommended procedure is a time consuming one. You must download the latest version of AVG from the website, and then run it.

    1) Click on the following link and download AVG to your desktop

    http://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/us/frt/0

    2) Double-click on the downloaded file to run it
    3) AVG will present you with three options to choose from. Choose the Uninstall option to completely uninstall AVG

    Add/Remove Components - choose if you want to add/remove some components or reinstall the entire AVG program
    Repair installation - this option repairs or reinstalls missing or damaged components of AVG
    Uninstall - this option removes the AVG program from your PC

    4) Once the uninstall has completed, restart your computer. You can then proceed to install another antivirus or install AVG again.

    hope this helps

    You can use AVG 8.0 Uninstall utility from http://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/us/frt/0 and try to uninstall it.
    Alternatively you can download and use Revo Uninstaller from here http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html and Uninstall the program(AVG 8.0 ,i,e bloatware) completely. Your problem must be solved after performing these steps. :)
