Have you had any more thoughts about this problem?
Have you had any more thoughts about this problem?
Sorry - I've only just caught up, and it's now midnight (and 4 large whisky/cokes)...
Manana! - early, I hope :)
I do not wish to distract from the problem I have but even though I ran the 'AVG Removal Program' you sent me, I find that there are many registry files left still. Is that a problem?
AVG reg1.zip
AVG reg2.zip
Did you run the correct version of the tool (there are currently 4 versions- 2x 32-bit and 2x 64-bit) I would recommend running both the 2012 and 2013 versions and see if it makes any difference.
My ISP has been down most of the day
I am glad you up and running again.
I did actually run the 2012 and the 2013 at 32bit, I suppose it would not hurt to run them again to see if there are any changes?
I have run both 2012 and 2013 AVG removal tools, it requested a reboot 5 times but from the log it appears there are still registry problems.

OK - I'll have to investigate those entries a little further - it may simply be that they don't exist on your machine.
back tomorrow!
Gooday Noel, sorry for keep badgering you but have you had time for any more thoughts on this problem?
