Sorry for the multiple posts in a single day...
I have solved this issue!!! (In my case anyhow)
WARNING: What I am posting here can cause SERIOUS problems with your computer if you do not know what you are doing. If you doubt yourself, then DO NOT DO THIS.
Using information I found at: http://www.fixya.com/support/t567993-local_machine_installation_failed
Heres what I did:
1) I downloaded the latest version of RegSeeker (Link provided in the other fixya post referenced above).
2) I ONLY did a "Find in Registry". Typed "AVG" and did a search. (I searched for Grissoft as well, but it found nothing)
3) With the list of registry entries I then at the bottom, selected all using the "Select" link(with a green checkmark next to it.)
4) Using the "Action" Link (Also at the bottom) I deleted all.
5) Go to "C:\Program Files" and delete the "AVG" Folder.
6) Reboot machine
7) Start fresh install of AVG 8.0
8) Perform updates to AVG 8.0
AGAIN... This worked for me. IT MAY NOT WORK FOR YOU.
Changes to your registry by ANY means should NOT be done by those not familiar with operating systems.
For what it's worth.

I've looked in Add/Remove programs but it is not listed.
SO... It thinks it's installed, but I can't un-install to try again...
Anyone else have ideas??

This is the error I'm getting after attempting to install AVG's free version of their virus protecting software.
"Action failed for file avgmfx86.sys: starting service....
Error 0x80070002"
I have taken the following steps with a reboot after each step:
Not sure what else I can do at this point except install some other respectable antivirus software, like Panda or something. But it irks me to no end that AVG can't be installed on this computer.Uninstall all other anti-virus apps (had an old version of Norton before)
Ran CounterSpy (www.sunbeltsoftware.com) to remove AntiVirus08, the infamous fraudware app
Ran RegClean
Ran RegSeeker's autoclean feature
Did a thorough search for anything antivirus related incluiding "AVG", "Grisoft", "antivir08" (and variations).
Removed anything that was suspicious but clearly not system file that Win would need.
Installed all Windows updates, including SP 3
System data:
MS Windows XP Home
Version 2002
SP 3
HP brand
Intel Celeron M, 1.GHz
480 mb of RAM
Thanks in advance for the help!
