Anyone who has been married for as long as I have knows better than to contradict her.

I had already removed Zipcruncer and after it booted correctly the last time I uninstalled AVG Avast as well.

The PC has had Malwarebytes Premium 3 installed since day one without any problems.

Windows Defender is the only other protection installed ATM.
How exactly did you uninstall it?

Was it by just uninstalling it or did you use the AVG Avast removal tool.

If the later try downloading the removal tool otherwise you can get issues (I learnt the har way.)
