Hello foodfiend,
AVG should automatically upgrade from previous versions.
Should you encounter any issues with installation, please follow AVG 2011 + 9.0+8.x Uninstall / Re-Install Instructions.
Thank you
I have dial-up internet and was unable to install the latest free update or two from AVG because they would have taken hours (if not days...). I went to my library and downloaded AVG 2011 Free onto a disc. Do I need to uninstall whatever verson is aready on my computer before installing this newest version? Or will this 2011 version update the version which is already installed?
Thanks!
