Ah, thank you. This part is entirely missing in the manual removal method described in the youtube video(s). Just an FYI if people are using it. No mention at all of it messing with such settings. The stand alone symantec tool didnt find anything by the way once I'd already found and deleted the file itself.
I think I'll kill AVG and try Avast on that machine tomorrow.
