Hey Brian!

Thank you for reaching out, and I apologize for the delay in getting back to you. I'm Jovana from AVG Customer Care, and I see you're having trouble removing all traces of AVG Free from your Mac. Rest assured, I'm here to help.

Please try running our uninstaller via Terminal using the steps below:

Open the Terminal app.
Paste and run the following command:

  • sudo/Applications/AVGAntivirus.app/Contents/Backend/hub/uninstall.sh

Once the app uninstallation is finished, restart your Mac.

After doing this, all traces of AVG Free should be removed, allowing you to continue setting up Family Sharing without any issues.

If you have any questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!

Have a nice day!

Upgrading to Family Sharing Multi-device Internet Security app.  I've done everything FAQs/Internet search etc suggests to uninstall the AVG Free Anti-virus. Must not have been completed. When I download the Family Multi-Device installer the install is stopped with message to uninstall Anti-Virus first. I can't find a remaining trace of Free Anti-Virus in Finder/Applications, Dock or AVG Tuneup uninstall. Cleaned cache via Tune-up and restarted several times and no change.
