IE v11 homepage stuck on mysearch.avg.com

AVG Toolbar & search
1

1. I tried uninstalling the AVG secure search using control panel. When I tried to remove it it would not uninstall.

I then used the AVG removal tool and removed all AVG software from the PC. Reboted the PC, opened Internet Options, deleted all browsing history options, Reset Internet Explorer, and deleted all personal settings. Rebooted the PC, opened IE and the AVG secure search hompage is still there.

2. Ran Adwcleaner and it found a few registry keys relating to AVG, cleaned it, rebooted the PC. Opened IE and the homepage is still AVG secure search.

3. Ran Malwarebytes v2.2.0.1024 and it found no problems.

4. Ran Junkware removal tool, it found two bin files related to AVG, removed them rebooted and the IE home page is still AVG secure search.

5. Installed AVG safe search, rebooted, uninstalled it, then rebooted, home page is still AVG secure search.

6. Re-ran Adwcleaner, Junkware removal tool, Malwarebytes all come up clean.

7. Ran Combofix, and TDSSkiller, they found no issues.

8. Ran Hijackthis, and there is no trace of mysearch.avg.com anywhere.

9. Uninstalled IE v11, reverted back to IE v9, only to find the homepag is still AVG secure search.

I'm at wits end. Any suggetions as to what else I can try to get rid of AVG secure search?

Let me add that I already tried the article below but it did not work. The PC is a Windows 7 x64, with IE v11, and all the latest patches and service packs.
