Use the Norton removal tool as somes still in there
http://service1.symantec.com/Support/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039
Use the 32 bit AVG removal tool
http://www.avg.com/download-tools
then id suggest ~
Download MALWAREBYTES (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD NOW')
http://www.download.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html
