Re: AVG

What seems to be happening is the registry still has an entry asking Windows to start the Norton Auto-Protect Service. However this message:
Quote:
The Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect Service service failed to start due to the following error:
The system cannot find the path specified.
Indicates that the file the registry entry is pointing to no longer exists (you have deleted it). Therefore the error log has been created. Typical of an incomplete uninstall, however if it isn't causing problems, it doesn't look critical. You could go to start>>>run type services.msc browse through the list created and see if there is an entry for Norton Auto-Protect Service. If there is highlight it and right click, choose properties, then under start-up chooses disabled. This should stop the service attempting to startup, and stop the error logs.
