How do I get rid of AVG Secure Browser on Windows 10?

I was using my computer today and noticed that AVG Secure Browser was installed on my computer. I went to uninstall it, and I managed to uninstall the app from the control panel, however the folder in Program Files (x86) still contains the Browser folder, along with all of the data for the browser.

I would like to remove the folder, but each time I try to delete it, it says that I require permission.

Also, I never made the decision to install it, and I noticed that it showed up after a recent update as well.

Hi Micah,

We will help you in this.
The browser must have installed during the update of your AVG Internet Security.
You would have received an interface where you can unselect the option so that it won't be installed.

The 'required permission' message is because the UAC (User Account Control) has been enabled in your PC.  
If you are not able to delete the folder. disable the UAC and try again.
