Had to re-format HDD and re-install Win XP Pro SP3. Installed Firefox 4.0. Installed AVG 2011 Internet Security (registered and activated). Chose "AVG Security Toolbar" option. Opened Firefox and Nav. Toolbar shows ICQ Search. I do not have ICQ, nor have I downloaded it at any time. All I want to see is AVG Search toolbar. This was fine in previous edition of Firefox (v3.x.x) and worked.

Further to above: AVG Search toolbar is available in IE6 (I am not upgrading IE as I prefer to use FF). I have already tried the: about:config and keyword.url which shows AVG as search. BUT toolbar still shows "ICQ Search bar", even after reset. I have also deleted both FF4 and AVG 2011 and re-installed AVG before FF4, but to no avail. ICQ Search is still there. I may have to install previous version of FireFox, which worked with AVG Search.
