I work remotely and I am being told that my laptop isn't sending back the appropriate anti-virus messages and I need to bring it into the office so it can be checked for viruses and cleaned.  Is it possible that there is something I can do on my end to ensure the anti-virus software is working as intended so I do not have to go into the office to get this done? Thanks.

I believe that my antivirus software is running and slowing down my laptop….or, it could be a virus itself that my laptop antivirus isn't catching.  However, every time I run a scan it comes up clean and I have the latest updates. I just see that there is a lot running. Suggestions on if I should purchase different antivirus software to attempt to clean it further? Thanks.

While checking on the apps that run on startup, I found out that the Windows Command Processor was present between some of the apps.

I want to know if someone here knows how to get rid, uninstall or remove it without affecting my system? Thanks.

How do I uninstall avast internet security 2013 from my laptop? I recently purchase bit defender 2014 but when I start the installation, it complains about the presence of avast software. When I use the bit defender removal tool for the avast software, I got a message that avast has been removed. Truly, the avast software is no more on the system, but when I start the bit defender installation again, the complaint is also the presence of avast. How can i check if the avast software is completely removed from my system?
