However avast did say it took down my instant messaging shield etc, but apparently since the icon is blue Im being protected.
Nice thread, thanks for the heads up.

Make sure you run CCleaner for both types of apps. Also select the issues tab and run it for that. Also use it to uninstall your programs instead of the uninstall that comes with them or the add/remove programs that comes with windows.
I would also suggest downloading Revo Uninstaller. It will delete any traces of what you were doing from your computer and clean up any junk files (extensions for temp files) that are on your computer. Revo Uninstaller +CCleaner will keep your PC spotless in terms of random junk and useless info.
