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.:D
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?

Right-click on the AVG Remover executable - I suspect that it's running as a standard USer fr some reason, so doesn't have full access to the registry.
If that doesn't change the error messages, then we'll have to start messing with registry permissions - but I don't fancy attempting to track teh changes through the registry, much :(

I did actually run both AVG 2012 and 2013 as an administrator. Yesterday I ran both again as an administrator and as you can see from the Registry Editor there are a lot of listings for AVG.
Do you think these are linked to my problem with Windows 7 not being genuine? :huh:

It's a possibility, if there's registry corruption that has locked you out of parts of the registry.

Please navigate to the first of the registry keys shown above, and right-click on the Key - select Permissions.
What are the users listed, and what permissions do Administrators and Users have (if any).

I have seen this sort of thing cured in the past be reinstalling the program, and then uninstalling it again - but I'm reluctant to do that with AV's because they tend to set up some serious self-protection, and also becuase it's difficult getting the same version as is 'installed'.

What a mess of potage that lot is!
Change the Administrators permissions - ONLY to Full, using the Advanced options.
then put a tick in the 'replace all child...' box, and click OK out.
repeat for the other 'stuck' keys and then try running the AVG Remover again.

Under Advanced options I have two administrator permissions, the first is already on FULL permission and the other is greyed-out stopping me accessing it.
What do you mean by 'repeat for the other stuck keys'? :confused:
