AV's are intended to be permanaent so they uninstall very poorly. Look for remnants of the uninstalled programs. Remove any remaining folders in Program Files. Run Autoruns to see if the uninstalled apps are still loading drivers or anything else and remove them.

Look through the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software and delete any references to the uninstalled programs.
