    Download the AVG Remover from here If you have Vista it will most likely be the 32bit version.
  • Many thanks davb. What I did notice though was that I could not remove using internet explorer. It kept closing the program. Used firefox and it worked.

    No problem.
    With stuff like that you are always better saving the file to your PC and then running, after shutting down any other programs. I suspect you were trying to run directly rather than save first.
