Problem with AV

[KernelOverlord]

My AV - PC Cillin keeps reporting an "internal error cant update".

So me thinks easy just uninstall it then reinstall, only problem is that I cant get it to uninstall, th eprogress bar get to about 75% then it 'rolls back'. Ive also tried Advanced Uninstaller using the 'Forced Removal' option and still no luck, Its been going on for about a week now and I just cant seem to get it to uninstall, the problem is that the Def files arent getting any younger

Any suggestions on how I can uninstall it to get it reinstalled??

What about in safe mode maybe?? (problem is I cant remember how to boot into safe mode, its so long since Ive done it - lol)

Hmm never mind, just tried a system restore and the whole installs off walking the dog now, saying the disc is corrupt and other such nonsense - geez I hate this **** OS.

Oh well looks like another reinstall - great!!!

lol, its F8 before the windows XP screen goes by.

i'm guessing your doing a system restore, so i guess that should fix your problem

you can also start in safe mode by checking /SAFEBOOT in msconfig on the BOOT.INI tab.

[EDIT] Just uncheck it when your finished working in Safe Mode, otherwise it will keep booting into it.
