How to Remove FaceMoods

I installed something the other day. I don't remember what it was. I think it was a download manager or something. I carefully unchecked all of everything as to not install any garbage and I still ended up with FaceMoods completely taking over every browser I use other than SeaMonkey.

There are certain steps you must to take to fully remove FaceMoods from your computer.

I thought uninstalling the toolbar from my computer, deleting all of the add-ons, and resetting all my home pages would be enough, but I was wrong.

There are simply too many steps needed to completely obliterate FaceMoods from your system, so instead of putting up a tutorial of my own, I'm just going to link to somebody who has already put up an absolute version:

Simple Steps for completely removing FaceMoods:

1. Uninstall from computer in Control Panel.
2. Reset all homepages in all browsers.
3. Uninstall all FaceMoods add-ons from all browsers.
4. Change Default Search Engine and Delete FaceMoods as an option.

and then read this just in case you (or I) missed something:

p.s. FaceMoods isn't a virus. It's just annoying. Stupidly annoying.

How to reinstall/uninstall or repair installation of AVG?

The below is from the AVG website. For some reason, AVG's uninstaller doesn't work properly, so if you want to uninstall an AVG product from your computer, you have to download another 50-60mb installer and use the uninstall option from there.

Ridiculous.

If you have installed AVG 8.5 Free Edition on your computer and need to install different components or repair the installation, please proceed as follows:

* please download the latest AVG installation installation file from the Download section of our website
*
When you are prompted, please do not open this file directly from the Internet, but click the "Save" button and choose a location where the installation file should be stored. We recommend saving the file to the Desktop.
* Locate the downloaded AVG installation file (it has a four color square icon and its name starts with AVG...) and launch the installation by double-clicking on it.
* The following screen will be displayed during the installation process:

Add/Remove Components - choose this option if you want to add or remove some AVG component
Repair installation - this option repairs or reinstalls missing or damaged components of AVG
Uninstall - this option removes the AVG program from your PC
