korhan atay Can't uninstall Avg Antivirus from my Mac
Hello,
I 've installed an app called AppleCleaner to increase the performance but somehow it broked my AVG Antivirus. Since then I can't see AVG on Applications. When I tried to install it, it gives this error message "Installation Error :AVG Antivirus is already installed, please uninstall the previous version first.". But there is no AVG Antivirus at the Applications so I can't uninstall it aswell. I deleted Avg related files manually including library files and I think that was the cherry on top. I am in desperate need of help.
Thank you.
