AVG Secure Browser

I CANNOT Uninstall My AVG Secure Browser.  I follow the Instructions in support, go to control panel, then programs and features, then uninstall a program. I right click AVG Secure Browser and click on the uninstall button.... I get a pop up saying:  "You do not have sufficient access to uninstall Avg Secure Browser. Please contact your system administrator."  I am the only user on this computer and I am the Administrator. I have wasted a lot of time trying to uninstall it with no success.... I tried restarting My computer and that did not help. I did NOT ask for this to be Installed on My Computer in the first place, it was done with an update. It is taking up valuable room on My Hard Drive that I need for other things.  I want it removed. Can a tech tell Me how to do this or remove it remotely for Me??  Thanks for your help in advance.
