Can I just delete all of the AVG items in about:config to get rid of the secure search? I've already deleted AVG Antivirus.

There are 2 users on our computer; I am the administrator. On the 2nd user's page, the AVG Secure Search page comes up despite changing the home page, deleting AVG Anti Virus, and it is not listed where one manages the search engines (we use Ixquick).

About:config shows 10-12 AVG items. Can I just delete them? Thanks!
