In general new Antivirus program installation can be as simple as click next next and finish. But there are situations where installation becomes a nightmare and we often end up calling a local technician and pay even more what we have paid for the antivirus. But not to worry as I am discussing tips on how to do it yourself.
All trick lies in uninstallation of Previous Installed Antivirus. So you have to check your computer and search to find which Antivirus Program was installed on your computer. To do so check Installed Program list on your computer.
