This goal can be achieved both with the help of third-party tools and the built-in tools of the system, but let’s start with a proprietary solution.

The next method to uninstall AVG is to use the Revo Uninstaller.

   2. The built-in antivirus removal tool will start – follow its instructions.
   3. Upon completion of the Uninstall Wizard, Uninstall Tool will offer to scan the system. Click OK .
   4. The process may take some time, so please be patient. When the scan is completed, a window with the residual data of the remote antivirus will open. Mark the desired positions, then use the “Delete” button .

An alternative to the tools mentioned above is the Advanced Uninstaller PRO application – it offers the user a friendlier interface, deep algorithms for searching and erasing residual data.
