I have had an interesting time for the past couple of days attempting to remove all the traces of AVG. I decided to remove it and install MSE to see if AVG might be contributing to my mouse hangups. What an eye opener. Believe me you simply cannot uninstall all of AVG no matter what you do - even if you remove it manually it will pop right back up somewhere in Users. I Googled and found that several people have had the same experience. I know it's supposed to be a good AntiVirus but I will never put it back on my computer. Surprises me when I see what some software is attempting to put on my computer. I installed Advanced System Care this morning and wow I wasn't careful enough, as I ended up with lots of stuff that I had to take off. At least Advanced Care is worth it - I hope! Sorry for ranting. I was just so overwhelmed with all the extras and left overs. I guess too many new things to learn today. Yvonne

I like AdvancedSystemCare a lot. As I mentioned, I used the free version for some time, had obtained that via the giveaway site. I thought about it for about six months, then paid for the pro version. I am happy that I did. I also backed down from Webroot Secure Anywhere AV which was a giveaway when I bought my laptop a year ago. I liked it very much, but was worried I was going to end up paying for it twice since Best Buy seemed to have it on follow up and intended to auto-renew it for me. I didn't trust that they would and so I removed Webroot last week and installed MSE. MSE runs very smoothly on almost all computers so anyone after a free AV program should try them first. Always one's own judgment along WITH a good AV program is the best protection. I long ago learned not to be curious about sites that are sent to me by strangers. Such mail is immediately deleted. Anyway, today I removed MSE and again installed Webroot because they may have the fastest tech response I have come across recently. I am pretty sure it is a US response and that also made me happy. The older I get the more inclined I am to buy the programs I like because the bells and whistles usually mean smoother updates (they do it) and scans to determine compatibility. I like that. Now I need to look into adding Webroot to my iPhone and iPad and maybe anything else it will work with. Remember that CCleaner will generally wipe out those leftovers. AdvancedSystemCare also has an uninstall feature under Toolbox. Elaine Happiness is good health and a bad memory. --Ingrid Bergman (1917-1982) Hello Yvonne On Monday, March 25, 2013, you wrote > I have had an interesting time for the past > couple of days attempting to > remove all the traces of AVG.

I downloaded AdvancedSystemCare and was careful to not download the add-ons. However, an icon called Uninstaller also appeared on the desktop. Is that part of ASC or is that an add-on I missed?

iObit is a companion program and should be listed in tools in the ASC.
