One more question since I like being a nit picker.
Wouldn't a boot-time scan with Avast essentially be as good as safe mode scan?
Not necessarily. There can be some nasty things that could have booted before the scan in a normal boot that couldn't be removed because they would all ready be running with that boot scan possibly. But it certainly wouldn't hurt your computer to configure Avast to do that...but it is the AVG Anti-spy we wanted run in SAFE MODE not your anti-virus program, though sometimes, and with some infections a SAFE BOOT scan with the anti-virus program IS called for.
AVG looks for and finds things that the anti-virus programs are not set up to remove...many trojans for example.
Even though the free full trial of the AVG has expired really all you lose is the background guard. The scanning and removal capabilities of AVG-Anti-spy remains intact and very usable AND updatable(is that a word?) with the free version.
