Hello Lisa,
Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
It is possible to completely remove all of the AVG program traces using our AVG remover tool but unfortunately we couldn't bring back the history data, only way is performing System Restore and if this fails there no other way to bring back the history.
If you have the AVG PC tuneup in active state we can perform the restore changes feature in it and bring back the changes made by it to your PC but in your case the trial got expired and this method isn't possible.
To remove the AVG programs please use our AVG remover tool:

This is a bit long-winded, sorry.
I have AVG free.
uninstalled it but when I opened Chrome all of my tabs were gone. I went to History and it was completely empty.
I read that I should use System Restore and it too was empty.
I don't like being without an AV, so I installed Avast while I try to figure out how to get my history back. I finally found it in Chrome Settings history even though the drop down on the main History was empty.
I then went to my notification bar (Windows 10) to show Avast which I thought was hidden - it was not there but AVG was! It was AVG PC Tuneup and when I click on it it shows my trail has ended.
Back to uninstall AVG in Control Panel. Avast has vanished (!!!) but the 4 AVG's are still there. I tied uninstalling again and when it finished, I looked in Chrome Settings history and it too was wiped clean…
I did another system restore to get my history back. Even though AVG shows in Control Panel, AVG Protection does not open and going to AVG Desktop, Protection has not been opened.
All I want to do is completely remove AVG but I must have my history please!
How can this be done?

Thank you for your help. I know it is not your fault, but I have had nothing but problems with AVG and now the fact that it removes a lot of hard work that I depend on in my history is the icing on the cake.
I found a Tab Saver App that I am going to try before uninstalling. Between the 4 programs AVG installed, the AVG remover and now an App - that is 6 things loaded on my computer for something that really just gave me a headache to begin with, If you have the power, please do send my negative view of AVG.
Thank you again
