    Have you removed AVG from your computer and tried to download the update again and not click the trail period option

    Microsoft security essentials is one of the best, use it myself and has never let me down once. One of many features is that you can set the CPU usage during a scan, unlike AVG.

    But if you still want AVG, just download and run there uninstall tool:

    you should have no problems re-installing AVG Free then.

    Microsoft recommends third party antivirus

    Personally I use and install Avast Free on laptops or Pc's that I work on.
