    I have just uninstalled AVG free anti-spyware, as I no longer use it, then restarted PC.
    The Found New Hardware Wizard box appears informing me that there is a problem installing this hardware: Unknown Device. I looked up the properties and it is listed as Universal Serial Bus Controller: Unknown device.
    I have NOT installed any new hardware! I cannot get rid of the "Found New Hardware Wizard" box as this keeps re-appearing every time I hit the 'finish' button. Is there a connection with me un-installing AVG spyware and the PC thinking there is new hardware?
    How do i remove this Wizard?
    Thanks
    Steve

    Hi
    I have now re-installed AVG Free Anti-Spyware, and the annoying Wizard has disappeared.
    Fingers Crossed!
    Interesting to know why it happened though?
