Gerald, Thanks for the clarification. I have heard the same on Avast, some have been able to do it without sighted assistance and some have not. I'll probably wait until my wife is around just in case

When I first installed MSE, I saved the files in My Documents, then removed AVG and then initiated the MSE Set-up and Installation from the saved files. Be careful, because I understand that trying to remove Avast can be tricky, which is one of the reasons I never tried it.
