Running Win95. On April 17, I download the free AVG 6.0 anti-virus program. Installed it that same day and configured it to scan my registry upon boot-up. Everything appeared to be going well until today. Upon boot-up I received the registry error warning box. I restarted the computer a number of times hoping the registry would reinitialize itself. It didn't. I suspected the culprit was AVG. I uninstalled the program using their uninstall file.. After rebooting I began getting messages saying the system.ini file indicated that two device files could not be found. They are C:\ProgramFiles\Grisoft\Avg6\AvgCore.vxd and AvgFsh.vxd. I double checked the add/remove applet to make sure AVG had been removed. It was still there. I removed it from the applet. Then I used another software cleaner program to double check on AVG again. It was still there. I removed it, but probably just the name. Eventually after performing some tasks I don't even want to cope to, I went to DOS and deleted all files and directories relating to the program, including the downloaded executable file. I keep those in a seperate downlaod folder. To make a long story short before you all nod off, I'm still getting the same missing device file message upon boot-up. Eventually I get to Windows and everything seems to work normally. Any suggestions, besides get out of the business.
