    Trying to remotely help a friend who is getting AVG related screens opening on every startup despite having uninstalled it. Does anyone know of a post-uninstall cleanup utility that might eradicate this? The friend doesn't have enough experience to use advanced tools such as Process Explorer.

    Greetings, Earthling (that sounds so weird when I say that). ;)

    There's an AVG Remover listed here - don't know if it's a post-cleaner or if it should be run during the removal process, but it might be worth looking at.

    Hi Caliban, you aren't the first to get that odd feeling that maybe it's you who is the alien here ;) Anyway I've passed your link on and await the panicky phone call asking, after the download has finished, where the file is :eek

    @ Caliban - the AVG remover didn't fix it but I persuaded the lady to have a go with Autoruns and that seems to have fixed it. Now she wants to marry me :eek

    If she is comfortable with the powerful Autoruns program then maybe you should marry her. :p

    Glad y'all got things sorted.
