Outlook 2007 - Removing an add-in that no longer exists?

[lektrix]

I was trying AVG earlier but I recently formatted my PC and installed another AV program.

AVG7 no longer exists yet Outlook keeps trying to load the plugin:

"The add-in "AVG Exchange Extension" (file
name [avgxch32.dll] / location) cannot be loaded and has been disabled by
Outlook (blah, blah)."

I've tried looking in Tools/Trust Center/AddIns/Com Addin but nothing is there.

Run CCleaner

http://www.ccleaner.com/

It will find and remove the registry key
Have it make a backup file, just in case
you remove something you needed to keep.

Be very careful using CCleaner! You can easily wipe out a lot of things you may have wanted to keep. Recent documents, sites, histories, etc. I always shoot myself in the foot when I accidentally delete things I needed. Backups are a must when using this utility!

That is true and why I also said to make a Backup
before removing anything.

Just found this:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Exchange\Client\Extensions

The .dll that Outlook is trying to find should be under that key somewhere.

Also if that does not fix it, then try deleting the extend.dat file
It is located here:

C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook
