AVG not fully removed

Good Evening and thank you for helping me:

Here is my issue: I switched from AVG antivirus free home edition to Avast. When I uninstalled the AVG it did not remove the toolbar. I have disabled the toolbar but it seems as if it's still active. I have yahoo DSL for internet service with a yahoo toolbar. My internet explorer will sometimes default to avg instead of yahoo while surfing the internet.

When I try to launch my AOL, I’ll get a message stating that AOL has detected a firewall and I’ll have to retry it a few times before it will connect.

I checked my windows firewall settings and this is what I see. In the windows firewall_exceptions tab programs and services: There is a box with this verbiage; "Windows firewall is blocking incoming network connections except for the programs and services selected below" these AVGs are in the list along with my other programs. Avast is not in the list. (Shouldn’t this say avast now?)

AVG installer
AVG installer
Avgemc.exe
Avgupd.exe

When I look at internet options_general tab_change search default settings_search providers, I see this list:

Aol search, Status tab: Default, Listing order tab: 1, Search Suggestions tab: not available
Bing, Status tab: blank, Listing order tab: 2, Search suggestions tab: disabled
Viewpoint search, Status tab: blank, Listing order tab: 3, Search suggestions tab: not available
AVG secure search, Status tab: blank, Listing order tab: 4, Search suggestions tab: disabled

Please help, I have attached the read me and run me logs just incase I am infected with something.

 

Have you tried using the AVG removal tool?

It will remove all vestiges of AVG from your system. If after that you still think you are infected with virus and/or malware you should post in the malware section and they can interpret your logs for evidence of infestation/s. Those gals and guys are malware fighting brains! http://forums.majorgeeks.com/forumdisplay.php?f=35

 

First off, you are probably not infected. Second, did you go to http://www.avg.com/us-en/utilities and download the Removal tool? You want the 2013 link, not the 2012. Darn, beaten by a second.
