    I originally installed PC Tools Antivirus because MS Essentials would not install
    MS Essentials will only install if you're running a 'legitimate' copy of Windows.You may have to verify your copy of Win7
    Genuine Microsoft Software
    Click on "Validate Windows" (left hand side)

    Go back into Autoruns and only Disable. Do not delete.
    If after a shutdown and reboot, you then find some of the deletions again, then your anti-virus program is a nasty piece of malware. Contact the AV company and ask what procedure to follow. If none of these work, then I'm out of ideas.
    Thanks. I will follow your instructions. If others would keep suggesting things to try, I would appreciate it. Tried Unblocker 1.8.9 but there are no instructions...it just autoruns but I don't know what to do with it since the program does not open to a screen.

    Karl I did as you suggested...disabled PCT core but could not disable other 4 PC Tools items, PC Tools Layered Support so I left them alone. When I rebooted...computer would not start...had to do a recovery. Back to the beginning now.....guess AVG support might have a clue as to how I will delete PC Tools.......If I can get support.
