    Seems AVG was not correctly installed in the first place.
    If you wish to re-install AVG, reboot - which will get rid of a bunch of the old garbage, and then do a re-install.
    Or install a different antivirus. Your call.

    I second the motion, regarding Microsoft Security Essentials. I normally have a dim view of most things Microsoft touches, and Windows Defender was a joke; but MS got it right this time. It works at least as well as Avira, and better then Avast and AVG in my opinion. (I'm about to ditch Avira after five years, the newest version has become a daily upgrade sales pitch.)

    You uninstalled them, but the uninstaller left junk behind.

    Avira ticked me off some time ago.

    What I use because of pop ups.
    got it install now .
    now i have the icon in my taskbar.

    so i was reading about how to unistall all that crap that it is left after trying to uninstall all them was to do a CLEAN INSTALL OF WINDOW again but i will have to install all my spyware .etc.etc .
    what do you thing train .
    it is not because it slow my pc down .not at all .
    you see that motherboard have a turbo update that overclock my ram to 6-6-6-18-20.so if do not use it all it show is 9-9-9-24 .but my ram are 7-7-7-20 in real life .
    if i do a clean install again i will have to download one it[turbo update] to use to over clock

    Yes, a clean install means' unless you have the programs on a data cd/dvd/memory stick, on a another hdd, you would have to download and reinstall everything when you do a clean install.
