Today I restored using my systems image and everything is working now - well...sort of...as there is one annoying problem which I hope is something that is easy to solve.
My regular TV catchup player (BBC iPlayer desktop) does not seem to be responsive after it is installed. When I clicked on its desktop icon, nothing happens. But when I right click on it and then selected OPEN..that appears on the pop up menu, it says that the program is already running. But I can't see anything or the usual icon on the task bar.
Does anyone have any idea how to over come this ? I have uninstalled and reinstalled a couple of times with the same results. I have also re-download the program and re-install it, but still the same rersult.
Hi Train - I wish I had seen your post here sooner before I went through the lengthy process of tracing all the links and deleting all traces that is connected to this program and then reinstalling it, which thankfully worked this time.
It seems that just uninstalling from Add/Remove via Control Panel is not enough. There are links of this program also in Adobe Air in C --User Name ---Application Data --- to delete also.
Anyway, thanks, everyone, for all your time and efforts in helping with the problems raised in this post. They are much appreciated.
You probably should make a current disk image while the computer is running well. Also, if AVG was the culprit for the original problem you may want to either disable the feature that caused the boot issue or maybe even dump AVG altogether and go with something like Avast or MSsecurity essentials.

Hi Fink - yes, I planned to make a current disk image. I'm just about finishing up the updates, etc. It's taken me over 7 hours or so from restore to updating the programs.
I can safely confirm it is not AVG that is the culprit. As per SpywareDr's suggestion of doing some tests in using a Knoppix CD/DVD, it indicated my system was corrupted. In fact, I have use back AVG and updated it to the latest and everything is running ok - touch wood !
Thanks for the reminder about making a current disk image. That's the next thing on my to do list.
To access your account for this cluster %^&$ that Avg has done you have to access your pc in safemode then bring up the avg settings and uncheck / disable avg watch dog. Once you do that, reboot into regular windows and the issue is resolved. Then UNINSTALL avg and put on free AVAST and you will NEVER have issues like this again !
