Well yes I suppose so. Thanks for your input I appreciate it.

Anyway.. i double clicked on the backup CC Cleaner made and it restored stuff into my registry. is that everything i need to do to restore it to normal? thanks

I appreciate the kind gesture but you sound extremely... enthusiastic. You almost make it sound like propaganda. I've never even heard of Comodo before.

Ok but does anyone know why it would start up normally on the 2nd restart? Did AVG fix itself? Also, I have a backup, will that return everything to normal?

Yes I did a registry clean and a normal clean but i looked through all of the registry items that were to be cleaned before i did it. apparently all that was removed was a bunch of residue items left behind after an uninstall or something. i didnt see any AVG files. and after the first reset where AVG didnt start up, i reset my computer again and this time it did start up. so whats the deal???

I restarted my PC and this time AVG started up normally. Any idea why CCcleaner would make it so that AVG wouldnt start up after the first reset but work fine on the second reset??

This is a concern... This morning when I woke up and started up my PC (for the first time since using CC Cleaner yesterday) AVG did NOT auto-start up.... usually it asks me every time and now its not even there. SO what on earth is the deal?!

I just ran CC Cleaner for the first time and I noticed that it removed files from AVG, Windows Defender and Spybot. Is this going to hinder those programs? Why does CC Cleaner remove files from them? Any help would be appreciated.
