If you have used AVG in the past then you will have the two Visual Studio 2012 x86/x64 redist. programs, as seen in your screenshot provided. I've also seen this on a VM system where I have only installed AVG Free AV, but was not removed after uninstallation.
so can I used a avg removal tool on it? or something else I cannot detect what to Uninstall?

Remove these two that have been highlighted.

Not tested to see if the AVG removal tool does uninstall them.

can I ask is my programs are to many or it is ok 10.1 gb

Too much bloat I'd say :D

I tend to install programs that I use, like maybe once in a month or so..

Mostly I use portable softwares.

now some pop app shows in my desktop by this software

I'd recommend you to run a scan by MalwareBytes and clean up your system.

Mobogenie is not easy to be removed...

For those wondering what are these "Windows Studio Redistributable" packages by AVG, here's what I found :

http://forums.avg.com/us-en/avg-forums?sec=thread&act=show&id=217306

From what I can understand, these are the real packages, but updated by AVG instead of Microsoft via the Windows Updates. They do not seem to be needed for AVG to function properly however. This would need to be verified. I could test it in a VM if needed.

Can you test for me?

I guess people understand now why I ask people what makes them say that their Computing Knowledge is Advanced.

It could mean that they know the theory concepts intact but not practical

It could also mean they know how to clean their PC's even after getting an infection, instead of getting tech support.

Knowing how to take care of your own system should be the basics to be honest. Being able to do more than over and also being able to take care of other people systems, and adjust yourself to their config is a bit different. Also, knowing the theory is good, but without the practical experience, kind of useless if you ask me. Anyway, just my opinion.

Honestly it depends.

Some people are great in programming, so in that case their computer knowledge respective to their category is advanced

Another set of people are great in networking, some in database manipulation and another set is good with tech support.

You cannot see someone who's good in all these categories and the many more that I haven't mentioned. I think you get the idea.

Computer knowledge is a broad concept.
