How to uninstall AVG Antivirus

If you have previously used AVG Antivirus and uninstalled it the common way (by using add or remove programs in the control panel) then you may have come across this compatibility issue. When you try and install another Antivirus program after you have uninstalled AVG Antivirus then you may be prompted to still uninstall AVG Antivirus due to a compatibility issue. At this point, you would be confused because surely you just removed it from your computer right? Unfortunately, removing any antivirus program is not as simple as using the add or remove function in the Windows Control Panel. There are some functions such as the antivirus engine of AVG Antivirus which are not fully removed and this leads to the incompatibility issue with other antivirus engines.

The solution to this problem is fairly simple. All you need to do is go to AVG’s official website and download the removal tool which has been specifically designed for the removal of AVG Antivirus. You then go to the download tools page where you will find the AVG remover software. Download and run the remover to completely remove any traces of AVG Antivirus.
