residual data not gone
I don't have any avg stuff installed on my computer but it shows up in firefox somehow. It AVG shows up when i go to
firefox -> options -> search.
also in about:config there is the variable that i cant get rid of
media.navigator.load_adapt.avg_seconds
i want to eradicate avg from my browsers but they refuse to go away completely

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
- Microsoft Safety Scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- Anti-Rootkit Utility - TDSSKiller
- AdwCleaner (for more info, see this alternate AdwCleaner download page)
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.

I did the dangerous and did regedit.exe and deleted anything associated with avg. some of the variables had file paths and i presumably locacted the rest of the avg virus. except the " 22:\ " and " 02:\ " locations. But that didn't solve my issue, and i finally went to the fire fox folder, which after a fresh reinstall had avg crap in it. i deleted those and i don't see it right now. but I am doing a scan with hitmanpro just to see what it turns up.
