Hi Sarath,

I've got the same problem and tried everything te remove excess files. Is there an uninstaller for mac?

Niels Bockhoudt

I recently purchased a new 21.5inch iMac to replace my old 24 inch one. I installed everything from my external hard drive (Time machine backup). I had a problem with G Mail using Mail as client. Apple help personnel tried to solve this for hours on three successive days. In the process they took off all AVG files. I am now wanting to reinstall AVG but cannot as the installer says there is AVG already on the iMac. It is nowhere to be found and I have tried and failed to succeed with the ideas on the AVG site. Any help would be most welcome. Thank you Spencer

Hi Sarath
Thanks for trying to help.
The first technique could not be used because AVG icon etc hasd been removed by Apple.
The second technique did not work either Terminal reported that
open /Applications/AVGAntivirus.app/Contents/Backend/utils/com.avg.uninstall.app
could not be found. Clearly Apple stripped that away also!!! 
Can that be reinstalled separately through you to enable complete removal so that I can reinstall?
If not can you help me to find any remaining AVG files and remove them then reinstall?
I really am very upset about this I like AVG and want to carry on with it.

Many thanks
Spencer
