Oh good. I guess this is what I wanted to hear. I want to thank Saltgrass and Trouble for taking their time and help me out. You guys are great!!!:up:

I bought it with Win 7 installed.... Just how old this laptop could be? As I ran Dell diagnostics from their official website, the report said it was bought in 2010. The lid looked new and barely used when I received it, but I don't know about the hardware. Are you saying this could be a 2006...

The point is I don't have Brother printer. I bought this Dell as a seller refurbished on ebay in January, this year. No idea what Windows ME is... I suspect the Autoruns helped, because Comodo Virtual Kiosk works again, and the boot problems have not resurfaced. I have no idea what those oodivd...

The avg drivers I deleted from Autoruns are still in the Drivers folder.:scratch:

I recklessly deleted 2 AVG and 2 IObit leftovers that were in yellow. I rebooted twice, so far so good. I tried starting Virtual Kiosk just in case, and it loaded. Somewhat slower than before, and I had to reset it, so now it works in the 'tablet' mode. I'll see how it goes. So, the fact that I...

Thank you! Thank you for the reply! I suppose IObit Ultimate was the one that caused the problem in the first place. What cleanup tool can help me get rid of its leftovers? I tried to re-install Avg several times with no success. I think I turned Windows Defender off when I installed AVG back...

Thank you!

No, did not fix it. It boots 50/50 - one corrupted boot that boots Windows, but it won't respond and shows the blue screen, file attached. The next time it boots right. Now, I have The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load: AVGIDSHA avgtp oodivd oodivdh What am I doing...

It booted ok 5 times in a row. The 6th one was a failure again. Thanks, will do. I am currently re-installing Comodo Firewall, because I want my Virtual Kiosk back. This is some sort of a grotesque fairy tale gone bad.

There are 8 of them: avgidsdrivera.sys avgidsha.sys ----- this one loads even in Safe Mode avgldx64.sys ---- Renamed avgloga.sys avgmfx64.sys avgrkx64.sys avgtdia.sys avgtpx64.sys Do I rename them all? or just the avgldx64.sys one? Not funny - my Comodo Virtual Kiosk stopped loading:waah:

Thank you!! I just finished with your first suggestion. I ran both AVG remover 2013 and 2014 for 64 bit. The 2013 remover did something and restarted the system, after which Mozilla Firefox started updating itself. The 2014 did not even find anything to uninstall or clean. However, I followed...
