Uninstalled AVG Internet Security, Reboot – Icon still present, (Cleaner Uninstall)
Uninstalled AVG Anti-Track Reboot – Icon Still present
Uninstalled AVG BreachGuard Reboot – Issue resolved. (Standard Uninstall), The icon disappeared during uninstall.
AVG Tuneup is still Installed

Hello Paul.
Thank you for sharing the screenshot. 
This issue arised due to the user interface unable to load in your system tray. 
In this case, I suggest you to uninstall your AVG Internet Security using Clear tool and reinstall your AVG Internet Security. 
Please refer the below article to uninstall your AVG Internet Security using Clear tool: (https://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?l=en&urlName=uninstall-avg-software-clear-remover&q=uninstall+AVG+Internet+Security+using+clear+tool&supportType=home)
