Hi all.
I have Kaspersky 2010 did a full scan and found no viruses at all, but seen as my laptop was loading up alot slower, was running slower and the Internet taking longer to connect.
I decided to download AGV 9.0 and it ran a full scan and it found 1 warning being
Adware.Generic "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\AVP"
and it wont let me delete it saying access is denied.

How do I go about deleting this problem or any software that will get rid of it.

Many thanks

Hi there, HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\AVP is Kaspersky Antivirus key. So AVG detecting it as a malware is a false positive. However, you should scan your system using Malwarebytes and ESET online scanner to see if it finds something. :)
