Cannot uninstall AVG appears to be a virus or malware

am not sure how or when AVG somehow managed to "get permission" to install and corrupt my firefox browser, but it cannot be deleted now.
going into the add ons and tools, disabling AVG has no effect. in add/remove programs there is no AVG to be found.
since nothing within firefox can disable or block or remove it, it appears to be a virus or malware. have removed or disabled and restarted the browser, again and again and again. rebooted the pc 2 times after making SURE it was disabled. still there.
it does STUPID searches, type in something and it gives worthless answers. now each time I have to manually type in www.google.com to get to that site to be able to enter the search info. if I need to uninstall this worthless AVG thing by opening up the hard drive and taking sandpaper to those shiny disk things inside to scrape away AVG, Im going to do it.
if anyone knows how to get a version of firefox that DOES NOT HAVE AVG? then I want to download it. if there is a driver or something that will be able to block AVG from attaching like a parasite to firefox? then I want to download that as well

I can sense your frustration, but one important detail that would be useful to know is which of the many ways of searching and default pages has AVG Secure Search taken over?
* Search box on the built-in Firefox home page
* Search bar (where you can select the preferred search engine from the drop-down on the left side)
* Address or URL bar
* Replaced home page (Ctrl+n)
* Replaced new tab page (Ctrl+t)
The global Firefox Reset will clear all of those changes, but if only one or two are affected, there might be a shortcut to fixing it.

Cannot uninstall virus protection-- Invisible files?

My early 2008 MacBook Pro (10.6.8) has been running slow so I wanted to do a full virus scan. I see too many beach balls, scrolling pauses, and briefly my mouse buttons were misbehaving. It has 53 GB free on a */- 250 GB HD. Initially I had partitioned it, but ran out of space so I removed the second partition and now have just one big one.
I did a search for Sophos Antivirus, which has been on this machine since 2008 when I was staff/student. The search produced folders and files and then the search hung, so I quit it and restarted the machine, which generally is on all the time. I probably restart once a week to get rid of temporary files.
After this last restart, EVERY reference to Sophos has disappeared. No installer, no uninstaller, no virus definitions. I tried to run the Sophos home edition installer and it says there is antivirus software on the HD. I followed their directions, attempting to remove first Sophos 8 and then Sophos 9, and both return the message that there is no Sophos installed. But when I try to install the home edition, it says there already is virus protection installed. I had installed Clam, ran it with no errors or indication of a problem yesterday. Clam says to trash it in order to delete it, so I did. I haven't used any other antivirus besides Sophos and the more recent Clam. If there is virus protection, it must be invisible to me.
Since this MacBook is so old, I can't get help from Apple, and the Sophos directions indicate that I should download and run the uninstallers. So I'm stuck with a slow HD with no virus or malware protection. Disk Utility and TechTool (both run from the HD) indicate no problems.
The idea that the institutional version of the software uninstalled "by itself" baffles Sophos tech support as well as me.
Anybody have a directional idea? Thanks for considering this strange issue.

I ran the report but don't see the word "virus" in anything. I could uninstall VMWare since I've removed the Windows partition. The Samsung links are for my tablet. Perhaps something leaps out at you patient folks? Thanks for pursuing this with me.

I have what appears to be a virus on my Mac namely MAL/FAK AV-OQ how can I remove it? I have only discovered after running SOPHOS anti virus software???

I have what appears to be a virus on my mac namely MAL/FAK AV-OQ I only discovered it after installing SOPHOS anti virus software.
I cannot remove it automatically with this software it says it has to be done manually.
Where do I start???
Help req'd urgently

That is Windows malware, and cannot affect your Mac. See:
http://www.sophos.com/en-us/threat-center/threat-analyses/viruses-and-spyware/Ma l~FakeAV-OQ.aspx
It may be attached to an e-mail message or could be something that was copied over from a Windows machine via flash drive or something similar. If it is attached to an e-mail message, simply delete the e-mail. (Do not let Sophos, or any other anti-virus software, quarantine the message or attachment! That can corrupt the mailbox that the message resides in.) If it isn't an e-mail message, you can let Sophos quarantine and delete the file or you can delete it yourself.

How do i unistall quicktime if i keep getting the installer note of: the feature you are trying to use on a network resource that is unavailable. i cannot find Quick Time.msi file anywhere. so i cannot uninstall or re install quick time

the feature you are trying to use on a network resource that is unavailable. i cannot find Quick Time.msi file anywhere. so i cannot uninstall or re install quick time
any suggestions please??????

Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing QuickTime again. Does the install go through properly now?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

Cannot upgrade iTunes because cannot uninstall itunes 9.0.2.25. Error: The installation source for this product is unavailable. The file c:/... itunes.msi is not a valid installation package for itunes.

I also get the error. "Cannot uninstall the older version of iTunes. Contact your technical support group."
How do I download the itunes.msi for iTunes 9.0.2.25 so that I can remove this phantom and unfunctioning program and then hopefully upgrade to the latest version of iTunes 10.5?
Thanks for your ideas.

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Cannot uninstall shockwave 9.0.45.0

I cannot uninstall shockwave 9.0.45.0. I have run the uninstall software as directed and deleted all files in the four locations. But when I check to verify, it finds version 9.0.45.0. However, this version does not appear in control panel/uninstall programs. I have found several npswf32.dll files in the Adobe program file folder, but none related to flash and I am afraid to dlete any associated with Acrobat, etc. I am on Windows 8 and the latest version of Mozilla Firefox (which I also deleted and reinstalled). Firefox will not allow a new version of flash as a plug-in because it is blocking the version 9.0.45 that it detects. So I have no flash.

Hi Robert,

Had a hard drive crash - iTunes folder is compromised. I cannot uninstall what's left or update from 11.0.1.12 - message is it can't locate iTunes64.msi HELP!!!

Problem locating iTunes64.msi on Windows 7 64-bit machine. Can anyone help me?????
Last version worked fine until hard drive crashed. Have tried a clean boot - nothing, same problem. I've deleted temp files, nothing. Saw another comment that Apple Support genius provided files needed for version they had problem with - once received, they coulld remove (uninstall) old version and update to current version. I only wish it will be that easy.

There is no numerical error number, only a message which I'm including below. The file iTunes64.msi is not on my computer - so I cannot uninstall the old version noted above - or update it. There are 189 files left in the folder that appears in the Control Panel. I cannot uninstall, change or repair it - nor can I remove the folder from the Control Panel. I believe I've already deleted the folders shown in my program listing - which probably eliminated all my music.
The hard drive crash has caused several programs to fail such as this, I'm just trying to get my laptop operational with the software or apps I had used previously.
"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable

Why is it that I cannot uninstall because the program was from an unidentified developer

Why is it that I cannot uninstall a program because the program was from an unidentified developer?

Might have an answer for you if I understood what you are asking.
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
    1. AppZapper 2.0.1
    2. AppDelete 3.2.6
    3. Automaton 1.50
    4. Hazel
    5. AppCleaner 2.1.0
    6. CleanApp
    7. iTrash 1.8.2
    8. Amnesia
    9. Uninstaller 1.15.1
10. Spring Cleaning 11.0.1

Cannot uninstall NX software!

I have two WIndows XP machines with the NX pc-cam center and webcam monitor installed and I cannot uninstall the programs. Add/Remove Progams appears to do it but they do not go away, nor does a system restore remove the stuff. I don't know what kind of "corrupt-ware" this stuff is but if anyone has a manual uninstallation procedure that works I'd greatly apprecieate it.
Thanks!

I there!
just unplug your camera before uninstall anything and your problem should be solve.

Not enough privileges to uninstall Avg Linkscanner through CCleaner.

I've been trying to uninstall AVG LinkScanner for sometime now to install the Norton Anti-virus I bought, how can I uninstall it?

Thanks,

CCleaner has its place, browsers like Safari and Chrome cache history preferences can all use an easy way to get rid of all the junk they leave on your hard drive and is very safe and benign. As to using it to uninstall, it relies on the programs to have proper uninstallers themselves,which of course they don't. Norton is crap on Macs.

Cannot uninstall AVG appears to be a virus or malware
