Fix 1 : To remove the AVG Toolbar
A. Re-run the AVG install file
B. Then select Add/Remove components and then when the wizard gets to the option
C. Un-select it and then and then complete the wizard.
D. This will require that you update AVG Yet again.

B. Open the Tools option
C. Choose Add-ons
D. New Window will open up
E. Go to AVG Toolbar
F. Click Disable

Dear paulo,
Sorry not really sure what you are asking….

c’mon, your solutions are mostly like spraying Fabreeze or setting off a Glade bomb to “clean” the air or teaching Porky Pig to sing “Blue Christmas”;
there have to be some key files that when deleted will remove the toolbar without having to go through the exercise of putting AVG back on your system;
i spent six hours getting AVG off my system when i switched to my ISP virus protection–the uninstall only partially removes it and is prone to crashes;
surely there is a better solution.
Dear dreameagle,
Well you are right on…there should be a painless way to remove AVG PERIOD 100% and there is a method via The AVG Free website. But even I have found it does not always do the trick. I personally use my own removal programs and an registry scanner/fixer to get rid of the left overs. Now I freely admit AVG Period seems to be a very sloppy installer and un-installer.
There are a few ways to get rid of AVG 100%….here are some of the links to said solutions….
