You should also run the special AVG remover from this page: http://www.avg.com/ca-en/download-tools What about AVG would require a special removal tool (just curious, since I have it installed on my computer too)?

Like Norton and McAfee, it has become über-bloated, and the uninstaller is not thorough, leaving behind many remnants which could feasibily cause conflicts. I don't know the specifics, but I'm sure this is discussed in their user forums.

Does anyone know about this program (which I found on Majorgeeks.com)?

It doesn't make the computer boot faster, don't bother with this tool, most of the folks who say that it makes computers boot faster don't really understand what the utility was for. http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system...t/bootvis.mspx John

Thank you all very much!
