how to get rid of avg secure search from programs files (x886)
I have completed the recommendations that a few people had of getting rid of it. The only place that I still see it is in the programs file (x886) folder. What shows is AVG secure search, and then under that, toolbar updater 15.50.
Both will not be deleted. What else can I do?

Note that your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs on each start of Firefox.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there. you can check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) to see if makes it possible to remove those files.
