Solved: Get rid of AVG floating Icon.

Hi, I saw some users having problems with AVG Icon floating in their homescreen etc.
1. For web site person, I logged on and couldn't find this topic that pops up so easy on google.
2. To solve the floating AVG icon, it apparently isn't an AVG app annoyance, as it is an Android or Samsung annoyance.
3. Go to Settings, then to Accessibility, then Advanced to find AVG and turn on/off what is called quick access--thats why it is floating on your homescreen. It disappeared for me, yea!!!
