    I have been doing quite well, the AVG Secure Search files along with the registry files have all been removed.
    The only problem is I cannot remove C:\Windows\ProgramData\AVG. I then realised that the AVG file was locked (padlock) so I unlocked the file. I have tried using REVO to remove the whole file, the sub files etc but it cannot locate them?
    These are views of the files as I am not sure where to go from here:

    run the following commands in an Elevated Command Prompt window

    TAKEOWN /F "c:\Program Files\AVG" /A /R
    ICACLS "C:\Program Files\AVG" /grant Administrators:(F) /T

    Close the Command Prompt window

    Open Windows Explorer
    right-click on the AVG entry
    Select Properties

    Clear the 'blob' form the 'Read-only' box, and click Apply
    Accept the default when the warning comes up - to apply to all files and folders.
    when complete, OK out

    Then try Revo again :)_

    Unfortunately I have a problem with the commands Elevated Command Prompt as below.
    I did try clearing the 'blob' on AVG but a window appears with 'Access denied, you need administrators permission'.

    No problem - sounds like they may be in the (x86) folder....

    TAKEOWN /F "c:\Program Files (x86)\AVG" /A /R

    The AVG file is in ProgramData, is that the problem?

    Some forward progress but still some problems. Elevated Command Prompts worked, see list, I then cleared the blob in AVG, continues on access denied, OK'd the changes to folder etc, and the OK's the AVG properties (blob had gone). Opened AVG properties again and the blob has returned?

    Sorry - I should have said - the blob is the default state for folders, since they cannot be made read-only (only the content can)

    Simply try Revo again
