When rebooting my system did a disk check, however it seemed to be loading faster.

Just one final query. A long time ago I used avast as an antivirus program. However the file corrupted and the remmaments have remained on my system ever since then. Is there a way of getting rid of these? When ever I try to delete them I cant through add and remove programs or selecting them and manually deleteing. Its not that important just want to get rid of them.
