What do I need to uninstall the program AVG Anti Virus before installing Microsoft Security Essentials?
I have an ADVENT 7083 laptop Windows XP, there installed AVG Anti Virus (now expired). Do I need to uninstall AVG, before installing Microsoft Security Essentials?
Yes, it's a good idea to remove it if you don't plan to use at a later date... Also I suggest that you run the removal tool (Cleanup utility).

I updated to Windows 10 and then back to Windows 7. Now Adobe Reader does not work. He said: I'm missing acroread.msi. I tried to uninstall the program, so I could re - install, but it will not uninstall either lack of acroread.msi. Can anyone help? I tried all the troubleshooting steps that I could find in the forums and online without success.
I managed to fix it. I found the Mr. Fix It tool on the Microsoft Web site and who was running, and it worked. He fixed the corrupted registry file and allowed me to install the player. I had tried it once before, but it has not been successful. This time, it worked.

Need to uninstall the old version of XP and install XP Media Edition.
I have two computers - an a new laptop with XP Media Edition 2005; the other an older desktop with XP only. When I boot to the desktop, I always get a message that either a single file is missing or damaged. After a couple of reboots, it usually manages to pass these messages and lights. Sometimes, it's not, and I have to press F8 and begins a series of troubleshooting (such that start Windows normally, use the last good configuration, etc.) Sometimes I even go to the start menu or start menu and help out there as well. It can be a big hassle. Don't know what is happening, except that the XP operating system has a few kinks in there. So, I would like to only uninstall and install XP Media Edition 2005 since the backup drive that I have for my laptop. Please, anyone, Advisor to the best way to to do. Thank you.
Good idea. And sometimes the System File Checker can solve problems without the need of a CD

Computer problems since the installation of Microsoft Security Essentials
Since the installation of Microsoft Security Essentials, my computer will stay only in mode "sleep" for a minute or two and then turns back on. Also when I turned off the computer, Microsoft Security Essentials also stops, and I have to turn it back on when I start the computer. I had the two trend micro PC-cillan and Macafee security on this computer. But I uninstalled them before installing Microsoft Security Essentials.Also my computer is supposed to go to mode after half an hour of not used but he is staying on.

I had a trial version and now am signed up to use the cloud as a student. What do I need to uninstall the trial version before you can start to download all the items I want to use? When I was reading and watching the tutorial it said to uninstall the beta version. I am just learning to use the software and do not exactly know how to start to use the range of products that I buy for 19.99 per month. Need to achieve as soon as possible for school projects.
No, you can leave your version in place. When you install the application manager, it will recognize their and serialize the apps for you to use. Only reinstall if thast doesn't work properly.
