Recently accuired Vista x64. To install AVG Free version. Installation
failed, claiming another antivirus is installed. Yet, Vista does not
recognize a virus scanner installed in Control Panel performance scan. Where
located in default?

Are you had have any Symantec "Norton" products running on
your machine? or McAfee?

This link is to Symantec's Norton Removal Tool:
<http://service1.symantec.com/Support/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039>
Run it at least two times, each time reboot after it has finished, before
you attempt to install your new anti-virus. Even Symantec's own tool
struggles to rid a computer of all Norton residue.
