Can I assume here that you tried to remove it using the "delete" button in CCleaner, or did you have CCleaner "uninstall" AVG, which would have ran AVG's own uninstaller?

If it's a screwed up removal, your best bet is to reinstall it, and then uninstall it cleanly, by selecting "Uninstall" in CCleaner\Tools\Uninstall.

Let us know exactly what you did, and which Operating System you're running, and then we'll see what the next, best course of action should be.

Welcome to the forum, by the way.

The best way to remove AVG is with it's installer. Run the installer and it will detect AVG already installed on your system. Than it will give you several options. Choose the one to remove AVG. This will remove all traces of AVG. This is the recommended way from their forum and has never failed me. I recently removed AVG from several machines without an issue.

Indeed that's one thing Grisoft have always had in AVG since the version 7 era - a very good uninstaller!

AVG Remover
AVG Remover utility removes all parts of AVG installation on your computer, including registry items, installation and user files on your disk, etc. AVG Remover is the least option to be used in case the AVG uninstallation / repair installation process has failed repeatedly.
