As you all know that we are running AVG and Zemana license giveaway so I was just experimenting with the AVG software on my test machine with multiple security softwares ( none of them belongs to antivirus category ) installed on it.After testing the software on the computer I uninstalled it via control panel,when I restarted the computer there were few traces of the AVG security software that could be because of many things.
Even under normal conditions while installing or uninstalling the AVG software because of sudden restart or shutdown of the computer the installation files can get corrupt.Instead of locating and deleting the registry keys ( newbies should not do this but its a good solution for many problems despite being a lengthy process where removal tools are not available ) its better to use the product removal tool from the developer itself.
