Weird computer problems

Interesting. Another, probably related problem occurred. The computer refused to work properly. Before the log on screen, a notice appeared informing me that an application can crashed. Seeing as the application was called avg(insert three random letters here), I assume the problem is caused by AVG. Having uninstalled AVG since, I still have 17 files relating to avg on the laptop. The locations of said files are in the folders:
C:/WINDOWS/prefetch
C:/WINDOWS/temp
C:/WINDOWS/pchealth/ERRORREP/UserDumps
Can I delete any of the files/is AVG properly uninstalled/if not, what do I do now?
EDIT: okay, having installed a different virus software, I spent two hours playing solitaire, listening to itunes and during this time ran a virus check. The blue screen then reappeared. WTF? Please someone more awesome than me explain?

Have you run a memory test on the physical RAM? Memtest86 is a good one. Burn it to a CD or copy it to a floppy, use that CD/floopy to boot with and run all the tests. If there's any errors generated by the tests, then you need to buy some more ram. If you don't get any errors, then it's probably not RAM.
Do you have a monitor on your computer checking for heat and hard drive lifespan? I don't have any good links for those types of utilities, try the support section of your computer manufacturer.

Interestingly, by changing virus software (again) I can avoid the suckROM problems without removing suckROM from sims 2. However everything's hopefully working perfectly now. *crosses fingers*

...oooooor you could just remove SecuROM, which does nothing positive for your system and often does negative things.
