Change mouse cursor speed at logon screen
Mouse cursor speed and other mouse settings configured in Control Panel are per user. This means that each user can have the mouse configured to their own liking. This is all well and good, only problem is that none of the adjustments will make any difference while your PC is still at the logon screen (before any user has logged on). If you have a very high DPI mouse it could make it difficult to select user account or password fields using the mouse cursor.

Solution was disabling AVG LinkScanner service and startup entry (both can be done using msconfig tool) and restarting the PC. After run uninstall wizard again and this time the LinkScanner was removed properly.
