I downloaded WinZip and specified JUST WINZIP but of course got crap. How do I get rid of AVG search as my home page and get it off my computer because others say if you just disable it, it keeps coming back. And why don't these programs show up in Control Panel? I use FF, Chrome and IE. I use each for different purposes. They have ALL been affected.

Go to the Window's uninstaller. If it's there, you should be able to uninstall it.

Hi Barbee,

I never had that installed so I can't provide any specific direction; however, click this link and you'll find lots of suggestions:

https://www.google.com/#q=how+to+remove+avg+search

So, you can either review the many ways listed from the search results or wait for someone to provide a step-by-step for you.


Good luck with your decision on how to proceed,

Reboot in "safe mode with networking" and run MalwareBytes from a flash drive. It will almost always clean it up...

I do not think it will remove it since it is another antivirus unless running at same time.

Actually, now that I think about it, it may clean it up since it is a PUP.
