I want to permanently and completely uninstall free version avg

This is one year later, and I have exactly the same problem. Unpossible to deinstall this product!
What a desastrous product! Tried it for several hours, and nothing works! Horrible!

Thank you, Rick.  I will not be doing that.  And given that the only thing I have to take a screenshot of for you to have a sample has already been sent to you for analysis and clearly explained here, I don't believe I'll be doing anything that you've suggested Kishore.  Thank you for taking the time to explain something about why it is next to IMPOSSIBLE to uninstall the software provided.  Makes no sense given I've installed and unistalled OTHER free virus protection WITHOUT THE SLIGHTEST HITCH!  It's just your software that has caused problems.  I'll take that as a sign of its worth and a sign of your trustworthiness.

2024 and still the same problems...

Tried all of the above and still cannot remove AVG 2011 x64 even though its nowhere to be seen. Tried every install/uninstall tool and every manual method but keep seeing this when trying to install a firewall.

I 100% agree with everything above, frustration is off the charts

WHY MAKE IT SO HARD TO REMOVE? 

It is a slow slow horrible product and 100% shabby, I cannot waiy to have it uninstalled from all my devies, it rankles massively that I ever paid your company a cent… I will have party to celebrate when every last trace is… hopefully… deleted! trustpilot and any other rating sites I can find here I come… 0 stars, it will hopefully help others looking for anti virus to steeer well clear 

You still haven't answered why it is so hard to remove

Hello Francisco,
We regret for the inconvenience. Download and run AVG Clear tool: https://share.avg.com/steam/PSP/AVG2017/AVG_Clear.exe. This tool will help with removing antivirus component of AVG and its traces.

Open tool

Once you reboot the PC, please remove AVG folders manually as suggested below. Go to Run window (press windows key and R key simultaneously) and type the following comments to delete the folders.

1. Type “Temp” and press enter, remove all the files.
2. “%temp%” and remove all the files.
3. %appdata% - Remove all the AVG folders.
4. %programdata% - Open the AVG folder and remove the old files.

Please go to c: drive-> program files and delete the AVG files . Feel free to contact us for any further assistance.

Thank you.

I am using the removal tool because it WILL NOT UNINSTALL FROM THE CONTROL PANEL, but after the RESTART I can STILL SEE AVG protection in MY LIST OF PROGRAMS.  I am presently running the removal tool again, and it said it didn't detect any active AVG products YET THERE IT IS!!!  It asked if I wanted to "run anyway", so I have, and I am hoping it will GET RID OF THE PROGRAM FOR GOOD.  I can't for the LIFE of me imagine WHY you would create it so that the USER HAS NO CONTROL OVER WHETHER OR NOT TO CONTINUE USING IT, but HERE WE ARE!  I know I'm not the first to ask, but I want it OFF my computer— NOW!

How do I know it is uninstalled?  I couldn't even know which files to remove, and if I tried to remove ALL files as instructed, some were not allowed to be deleted or removed.  I also just received a prompt to send some feedback to you when THERE SHOULD BE NO TRACE OF AVG ON MY COMPUTER!

I can understand the customer service jargon, and that you somehow "understand my concern", but when you don't answer questions about how it can be UNINSTALLED and yet NOT uninstalled, it makes people like me furious.  When you don't bother to explain WHY a program you offer for free REFUSES to be UNINSTALLED, it makes people like me furious, and it also makes you (the people producing this software) rather suspicious and untrustworthy.  So, I can't trust that it is no longer on my computer because it APPEARS to be gone, and THAT means I have to take it in and have a professional look at it and maybe blank the whole disk and start all over again JUST to make sure your software actually IS no longer on my computer.  See how that concern has NOT been addressed by you?  But you say you understand my concern?  Not true.  You undervalue your customer base and overvalue your service.  You disrespect the people who have shown an interest in the product you produce.  If it is easy to install?  And there are no warnings?  It should be just as easy to uninstall.  WHY isn't it?  EXPLAIN THAT.
