AVG safeguard is still there

[BbqBacon]

If I missed something during the removal process I'd like to know what or any additional methods will be appreciated.

This is the first adwcleaner scan I performed which says it picked up the avg files yet when I conduct additional scans it doesn't pick anything up.

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

Re-run Adwcleaner again and press Clean after the scanning is done...

 

[BbqBacon]

I've already done that as I have re-scanned and cleaned once scanning was completed before I made the post here and as I stated before nothing came up. This is the more recent scan that I did a few minuets ago which still comes up as if nothing is there.

Is AVG safeguard still out there?

 

[BbqBacon]

I've searched my computer for it yet found no real traces of it. I just opened a tab to check again and it still pops up.

How is the situation now?

 

[BbqBacon]

It's still there

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

In which browser? Have you tried to manually change search provider and home page?

 

[BbqBacon]

It's effecting Mozilla Firefox, I've yet to try it on any other browser and I can't remember if I still have internet explorer or if I delete that program. My home page is still the Firefox start up page last I checked.

[BbqBacon]

That kinda did the trick, when I close Firefox and reopen it I can open one new tab without seeing the avg search yet when I open another tab it goes back to avg.

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

You should do this way:

Then move Google to the top and remove the rest.

Oddly enough it's still there.
