Hello Len,
We regret for the inconvenience caused. We suggest you to provide screen-shot (http://avgread.me/1aZxsAV) of the application folder which will help us in identifying the issue. Thank you.

This problem isn't something new. Just google avg folder on start up if you want to see what I am talking about. You don't need a screen shot. When others have enquired about the same problem they have been told to email AVG to get details on how to remove it but when you only have AVG Free it would appear that email contact is not available.
Screen shot as requested
