Hello David,
Thank you for contacting AVG Community Support.
I understand your concern that you want to disable the floating icon for AVG Anti Virus on your device. I apologize for the inconvenience caused to you.
It seems that the Accessibility button has been enabled on your Android device. The AVG icon on the home screen you referred to could be related to accessibility permission. This is just my assumption, as this may differ based on the specific device model and android version.
Please try to navigate to the phone settings >> accessibility >> installed services >> AVG Cleaner >> AVG Cleaner Shortcut.
When you enable it, it creates a shortcut on the home screen that can be used for quickly disabling or enabling the service.
For other devices, please follow the instructions from here:
- Open your Android device's settings app. .
- Select Accessibility. Switch Access.
- At the top, select the On/Off switch.
Thank you.
