Default computer freezes while uninstalling resident games


Hello,

I'm helping a friend get her new Vista Home Premium computer set up.
She wants the resident games uninstalled. Two issues with this: 1)
AntiVir is finding virus signatures in at least one of the games, and 2)
the computer is freezing up every time I try to uninstall - don't know
if it's related to the actual uninstall, or AntiVir finding signatures.
When it freezes, it's a total freeze - I've got to do a hard shut down.

Hi Ophelia,

1) Uninstall Antivir

2) Uninstall the games

3) Download the latest version and reinstall Antivir
