FAQ
Q: Why we use removal tool instead of uninstalling it from add / remove?
A: Normally to uninstall any software we use add / remove program feature of the windows. But sometimes we require troubleshooting various installation issues like the compatibility issues, registry conflicting issue unable to install / uninstall issue etc.
Q: Is this utility work for all versions?
A: This tool should work mostly all versions like 2019, 2018, 2017 and for 32 bit and 64 bit based Windows 10, 8, 7, XP.
Q: I am unable to remove AVG Management Console (AVG Zen)?
A : AVG has discontinued its Zen features since last year. Now users can manage their subscription directly in the AVG software. So to remove AVG Zen first of all you need to remove all the AVG products and then uninstall AVG Zen. If you face any issue then you can use the Removal tool as mentioned above.

Hi,
I have had a problem removing AVG Free 2015 from my Windows 7 64 Bit Laptop using the latest AVG Remover Utility 2015 (64bit). When the Removal Utility is executed it crashes before the uninstall is completed. I’ve tried executing this tool in Safe Mode & Standard with the same end results.
Here is a list of the errors copied from the AVG Remover Utility before crashing!

I have used AVG Removal tool to remove AVG 2011 and updated to the free version 30day trial of 2015 on windows 7, it has removed it and then i do a restart and install 2015 version, when i restart my computer again the AVG removal tool starts by it self again and removes the 2015 version by it self, i can’t how to remove the AVG removal tool once used or stop it starting up again and removing 2015 version. any suggestions why this wold be happening as i can’t find anyone else with this issue. thank you
Not only will AVG free 2015 antivirus not install on my PC, but the removal tool doesn’t work, simply stating “connection failed” every time I try to use it. What connection? The internet works fine, so the lack of explanation makes it impossible to discern what the problem is. Ridiculous.
Even the tool I downloaded from this page will not work – Windows cannot identify the reason. I suspect some sort of Malware is deliberately preventing me from installing any antivirus. Really fed up.
it will always come back – it is malware… I do not think there is a way to ever totally get rid of the monster

Try REVO Uninstaller Tool. It can remove the programs which have the problem in uninstall itself. You can download REVO Uninstaller from our tools page http://www.techsupportall.com/tools
I’m trying to uninstall AVG 2014 the program keeps telling me I do not have permission to uninstall it. I’ve tried using a removal tool but it says i have no internet but there seems to be nothing wrong with my internet! Can you help, please?
You should try REVO uninstaller tool to do it.
I’m trying to clean all AVG software off of my computer. There’s nothing in the Programs and Features to remove on my Win7 system. There’s nothing in Chrome or IE which are the browsers I use. I’ve tried the Removal Tool. After each restart I still have the following AVG programs running:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\AVG Secure Search\vToolbarUpdater\18.7.0\loggingserver.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\AVG Secure Search\vToolbarUpdater\18.7.0\ToolbarUpdater.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\AVG Web TuneUp\WtuSystemSupport.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\AVG Web TuneUp\vprot.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\AVG Web TuneUp\avgcefrend.exe
The AVG removal tool for the AVG antiviruses only, it won’t remove AVG tuneup utility. In your case, you have problem with AVG Tuneup utility. So you have to remove it manually. You can easily remove all that folders while running your computer in SAFEMODE.
I want to remove avg internet security 2015 free trial but there is nothing in add/remove to do this. I am on windows 32 bit on a dell laptop.
Use its uninstaller tool, it’ll help you to uninstall it automatically.
in response to others who had internet connection problems, when I installed avg after starting up so did I. It changed the settings in the wifi and I had to go in and change settings to open to get back into my wifi. Hope that helps some of you.
I uninstalled avg 2015 using the uninstall tool, but now I can’t connect to the internet!. How can I sort this? I have tried everything I can think of.
Try resetting your router if you have wifi.
How can you trust AVG uninstaller to not change your settings and especially your IP address
The AVG download completely removed AVG from my computer. What a pain getting rid of AVG was! Never will use them again. Thanks — made a donation. Great source of info BTW

Will this work with the new AVG 2016 64-bit version on Windows 10 Pro? I’m trying to uninstall the free version I’ve been using for a year on this PC but there’s no program in the AVG files to remove it.
AVG have not updated AVG 2016 uninstaller tool yet on their own page, maybe AVG 2015 works with AVG 2016, we not sure about it.
Click here to get direct AVG utilities direct page: http://www.avg.com/us-en/utilities
Also use this one, maybe this could help you in AVG 2016 – http://download.avg.com/filedir/util/AVG_Remover.exe
I uninstalled AVG from Controller Panel, but then when I use the AVG remover it says I have the Anti-Virus Free. So i put to remove it and then Anti-Virus Free still pops up even after the restart.
It seems like the free version is still persist into your computer. Please try to uninstall that free version from control panel as well if it appears into your control panel otherwise you have to remove it manually. Try Revo uninstaller tool, maybe it will show you the AVG free version. Let us know the results then I’ll give you the manual removal steps.
It was able to remove everything! thank you! just wondering though if you anything on why my computer isn’t able to run some exe programs when i double click them?
That’s great your issue has solved. Which one EXE doesn’t work? or all the EXE are not working? Let us know if it works when you do right-click on an EXE file and then click open.

3. Do a scan of Adwcleaner

Ever since they added Zen to the program it’s a bunch of shit. I only want to uninstall the avg program and it won’t let me. So what pay to get the removal tool ? No Thank You
You can try to uninstall it from the Zen Dashboard. Can you please tell the error you are getting while you are trying to uninstall?
Where to start-I run windows 10 on new laptop-have avg free on my system-I started to get a warning on my security setting-says that updates to new windows 10 failed and that avg also needed attention. I tried to sort out avg but it wouldn’t load-I tried to update the new release for 10 but didn’t work -it seems because avg program was stopping I it. So tried to uninstall avg-couldnt do it-tries several methods-the last method I tried was to load the avg uninstaller and ran it-it did not uninstall avg but instead said avg needed updating. In desperation I aoolwed the update-it took a while but when updated, it allowed me to open it at least. Then and only then I was able to got to the windows update facility and it now allowed and has since updated to latest version of the edge. I have not tried yet to uninstall avg now it is all updated. In any event, I guess I could say I had a resolution to my problem of not being able to get latest Edge version but still in the dark about how to get rid of avg

Could you please provide the complete detail about your AVG product, so that we can help you in removing this?
Did not work, wanted to remove the VPN but that option never appeared. Connected VPN yesterday which immediately made my business email greyed out and dysfunctional. ” on 12/05/2019 21:48
Server error: ‘451 4.7.1 You are greylisted for 900 seconds’
All AVG phone numbers “no longer connected” and that business can only be contacted via email (which I no longer have). Will find a technical guy for a few hundred dollars today to remove AVG and install something else.

I have tried everything to uninstall completely AVG antivirus. AVG uninstall ,Clear and Revo and my uninstall on my computer nothing works. AVG keeps deleting my other antivirus programs icons. on the AVG Clear it says the stub cannot cannot run installer. Bob
Restart your computer in safe mode and then run all these removers once again in safe mode. It should work. If it doesn’t work then let me know again.
