I am running Windows XP. How do I regain control/access to Avast and Malwarebytes in order to get rid of the pain called Antivirus 2010. I have tried following manual removal instructions and am unable to located most of the registry entries listed. Thanks for the help with this cursed mess.
Try Number 4 and 5 and see if you have any luck, if not, start from number 1 to the end:
