MAGIX is a very different thing to Xara.
NEVER just 'delete' files or folders from the ProgramData or AppData folders - unless you know that they have already been uninstalled using proper methods.
OK, so what have you got running
ControlPanel/Adminservices/systemconfig/services(tick hide all MS services).
from here
its easier to copy if you use the snipping tool, and upload it from your pictures file.
Registry cleaning was mentioned on page 1, IF one is going to use any registry cleaner/editor, I highly recommend exercising great caution. Get the advice of those who have been using such a long time before venturing into such utilities. I can tell you that from personal experience from my distant past that nonCareful use could lead to one either restoring the backup image or rolling back to the known good SRP/Configuration [via F8] or finding and ReInstalling the OEM or MS OS.

If you need to use a registry cleaner - you almost certainly don't know enough about the registry to do so safely.
If you know enough to edit the registry safely, then you don't need a registry cleaner.
ALL registry cleaners are unsafe - most are VERY unsafe.
Highly competent technicians may use a registry cleaner to winnow out the chaff - but I guarantee that they will manually check every 'bad' entry before deleting it!!
1. Unfortunately I have now already run a registry cleaner (as apparently recommended in another forum - although it now appears that I may have misunderstood)
2. Problem I am now getting Windows Explorer error message that goes into a loop. Worse my antivirus software AVG Cloudcare does not appear to be being loaded.
HELP!
What should I do now?
I have booted into Safe Mode and have fired up AVG and have run scan...
