Hi Jackie, Thanks for the response. Sorry I am the administrator. However I was able to delete some AVG keys in the Registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Current\Version\Uninstall The restart let me erase all the AVG files in the Program Files Directory then the three AVG folders deleted with no problem.
