  7. I followed the steps; method 1 failed. During method 2 installation process, after selecting 'uninstall', there was an error message[avgmfx86.sys stopping service...service avgmfx86 failed to progress during stopping at checkpoint 0 {wait hint 10000ms) in 90247 ms.] I clicked OK to proceed anyway. After restart, avg was removed. But I am not sure that error message will give me any problem in future. Would someone with this knowledge advise me please.
