Hello Ron,
We regret for the inconvenience caused. We would request you to run AVG remover tool to completely remove AVG and then re install it.
Please click this link http://aa-download.avg.com/filedir/util/AVG_Remover.exe to download and run the AVG Remover tool.
1. Please select the AVG products which are shown in the remover tool window and then start removal process.
2. After the remover tool process is successfully finished, restart your computer.
3. After the restart, manually delete the AVG Remover folder in the C drive of My computer.
trying to uninstall in control panes under program uninstall never finishes over a half hour and still not uninistalled
I've been trying ALL DAY to run the Remover tool because AVG is not preventing File Explorer from running.
AND AVG REMOVER NEVER FINISHES!
