Can someone advise me on AVG Secure startup and file tree bloat remains removal search suggestions?
Recently, I used the solution to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/927950?page=2#answer-364990 by KerriB. It worked. However, I still found traces of the bloatware in two other places. Not sure if I should remove them or not. Suggestions? I've included pictures of the locations (slightly rewritten for security reasons).
We're in my startup programs. Access: Mouseover an open space on your desktop. Press the Windows key and the R key at the same time. A dialog box appears. Type msconfig. Click the Startup tab. It lists all the programs that start at startup. As you can see, ask VProtect and ROC_roc_ssl_v12 are listed as unknown manufacturer, but in the file tree, they are in C:\Program AVG safe search.
The other location is accessible via start, then choosing computer, drive Local (c) (your local drive can be a different letter, obviously), Program Files. As you can see, there are a whole folder FILLED with elements of AVG safe Search.
I have a support ticket open with AVG on this issue, but it is the weekend, I can not hear back for a few days. I'll let everyone know what they advise when back from them, I hear.
UPDATE:
I complained to AVG, and they offered me a free license for their 2012 AVG Premium paid... Security edition o.O... anyway, I wrote them back asking about the remains above and they responded by sending me a download of a special uninstall program (you have to install - go irony!). I have included a picture of this email (3).
After running the uninstall program, I ran a cleaning of the system, and a deep cleaning run Advanced Systemcare (my favorite Cleanup utility), did a restart, then did a search for 'AVG '.
As you can see (picture 4), I * STILL * had a folder filled with AVG, accessible by clicking on start, computer, C:\.
I've done a shred secure deletion (again, and Advanced Systemcare tool, but simply to delete probably would be nice) this folder of AVG. Yet once, I ran a cleaning system, and a deep cleaning run Advanced Systemcare (my favorite Cleanup utility), did a restart, then did a search for 'AVG '. This time, nothing came. Great! right? No. I wanted to be * SURE * it was ALL gone, so I opened Windows Defender (the included firewall that comes with Windows 7), expanded the menu on the drives to be analyzed and down-and-this is, look, you know, a $AVG (image 5) HIDDEN folder!
Now, I have to show all hidden folders to find. Which is done by clicking on start, control panel (change display by: small icons), Options records, (popup window), display tab, then check the selection dot next to "Show hidden files, folders and drives", apply, OK (see image 6 for description). Now go back to start, computer, C:\, and it should show the hidden $AVG folder. If that does not show it, you can also do a search and delete the search results folder. Yet ONCE, I ran a cleaning system, and a deep cleaning run Advanced Systemcare (my favorite Cleanup utility), did a restart, then did a search for 'AVG '.
I feel now that I am completely free of AVG. I hope this helps you get rid of it too!

Can someone advise please how to define United Nations a message in Windows mail?

Use Windows mail to e-mail to all work, I'll be gone for two weeks. I would like to leave a message in the sense of 'I'm till far..., so please call the office. Can someone advise please how to do this? Thank you very much
If you do this, you must let your computer 24/7, be connected to the Internet and open your e-mail program. If you want to do this anyway, the link below will show you how do it. One thing I would say is that where it says to create a rule and change you it to check for all Messages, and that the rule for the people in your address book. Otherwise you will answer Spam as well and could end up in an infinite loop of rebounds.
Most of the servers of ISPs Internet/Mail to offer this service which would be a better choice.

Can someone advise on RHEL 7 comments OS customization support in vCenter Version 6.0?
Hello
I need to change the configuration of the NIC through customization of the guest operating system, but I have a problem using RHEL 7.0 guest os customization in vCenter Version 6.0 and 6.0 ESXi
Can someone advise on RHEL 7 comments customization OS support?
According to the customization Guest OS Support Matrix (http://partnerweb.vmware.com/programs/guestOS/guest-os-customization-matrix.pdf), Version 6.0 (6.0 ESXi) vCenter supports for customization of RHEL 7.0 guest os but it keeps showing error message as below
Error: customization of the guest operating system "rhel7_64Guest" is not supported in this configuration. Microsoft Vista (TM) and Linux guests with the logical volume Manager are supported only for the recent host ESX and VMware Tools versions. Refer to documentation vCenter for supported configurations.
Concerning
Are installed and running VMware tools? If so, which version? And you use VM opened since RHEL repository tools or tools provided by VMware?
For customization of open tools for VM and Linux OS, you must make the package open-vm-tools-deploypkg installed, which is not part of the base open VM Tools:

When I connect my Toshiba L300D laptop to my Samsung 40 inch lcd tv using vga to vga connection it works fine for a few minutes. Then the screens on the laptop and the TV start to turn on and turn off, also jumps around cursor. Can someone tell me what is the problem and how to correct.
Hello
Try changing the VGA cables and check if it helps.
If the problem persists, then I suggest you to update the firmware.
Note: BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

Hi I do not know if I put in the correct title apologetic information if I don't.
Can someone explain what are installation OS (C :) and a WinRE (r), and what are their functions?)
I am not computer savvy and need help.
The first has a red bar almost at the end of the box, the latter has a blue bar around to halfway along the area. Hope I gave enough information that someone explain it to me. Thank you.
caz59
Original title: hard drives
The c: drive is where Windows is installed and is running from. The red bar indicates that the disk is full. You will need to do a cleaning to clean the computer and free urgent enough disk space. It may be more prudent to get some hands on assistance with this.
WinRE is synonymous with the Windows recovery environment and contains an image of the computer, such as provided by the manufacturer. There will be a procedure to cross, which depends on the manufacturer as to what it is. The blue bar indicates there is little space left on the drive though use it to store files may stop the recovery process of work.
