Hey there! Did you shut down the anti-virus software before you uninstalled it? There are some anti-virus programs, like McAfee, load multiple modules, that you may not realize are running. So, it's quite possible that you didn't get all of it uninstalled.. There are other programs out there that you can use to scan your disk.. such as TuneUp Utilities.. Good luck.

I'd uninstall all antivirus products and stick to Avast.
