Easy to find - not sure why OP could not do this via a quick Google search.

because of the deep hooks avg, norton, mcafee, etc have in their progs, a removal tool is required to ensure full removal - just uninstalling will leave a lot of hangover crud behind which can conflict with the next av prog you install
The way to do it normally is uninstall then run the relevant removal tool (as admin)......Gettin' There, Wherever There is......
I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple

Norton yep, didnt think AVG left that behind also, been a while since i have used though.
Directing you to CNET for the downloads had me looking elsewhere for an AV and have been using Avast ever since.Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0
