Two entries in startup

Hi all,

Windows 10, I have two entries in task manager startup tab. Both are AVG Ui (Re) Starter. Both file locations show AVG Framework Common avguira  Is this correct I have uninstalled AVG using the remover tool and get left with avguira in the startup. Reinstall I have the two entries. Thanks.

Hello Nob,
We regret to hear about the inconvenience caused. Could you let us know what AVG programs are you using? Did you uninstall all AVG programs from your PC when you reinstalled? Please share a screenshot ( http://avgclick.me/getscreenshot ) of the startup items to assist you better. Click on 'Answer' & then click on the 'Image' [mountain symbol] & follow the instructions.

Hello Avinash,
What I did was using Ccleaner access the startup entries in the Regedit and deleted one and I lost the little icon bottom right when you click on the  show hidden icons so Im assuming one entry is for taskbar hidden icons and the other is the AVG programme. Is that right? Thanks User-added image

Nob,
Do you mean the AVG icon in system tray or on the task bar? Could you let us know which of the 2 registry entries you deleted? Did you reboot your PC and check if you had got the deleted icon back?

Avinash,

The task bar show hidden icons the little upward pointing arrow. I deleted the registry entry ending fmw. Ive reinstalled and looking at the previous post its as it should be with two entries in Task manager startup.  Thanks.
