  1. AVG Antivirus listed in Mac/Applications. With a double click, does not start. No application window shows. Had just got AVG TuneUp installed and running. 
    2. Uninstalled AVG Antivirus using Trash can and emptying trash as no "Uninstall" prompt could be found. Per Mac instructions. Now AVG Antivirus not listed in Mac/Applications nor shown in Launchpad.
    3. In attempt to install AVG Antivirus it fails with message that AVG Antivirus is installed and must be removed first. 
    No explanation as to HOW??
    Any suggestions?
