It is better to remove a program from the program itself it is available.  This way it will get rid of all registry tries.  Go to the start menu, program files then to the anti virus program then go to the uninstall option.  Then remove it from add remove programs.  if the uninstall option is not available in the program then just go to add remove programs.

Answer 6

Do a system restore back to before you got it then run your AV.  That has fixed it for the other 3 people I have done it for.
