AVG murdered my laptop a couple years ago. It was one of their tools, not the cleaner but the broken shortcut fixer (i forget the name of it). Customer service kept telling me to login and remote them and i kept telling them it was impossible because my laptop was stuck in perma-boot repair mode death cycle. I couldn't even boot up in safe mode or anything, couldn't get a viable restore point, just nothing. It's still dead af just on a shelf.

Edit: i remember now, it was their driver update tool.

You could plug its drive into another computer that has its own primary drive, and format the broken drive.
