AVG Family Security

I'm getting an error message "AVG Family Safety  Bsecure Services are currently not responding!  ETC." The AVG product was a website porn/bad site blocker and it has been dormant in the background since the license expired in 2014.  it had a user interface requiring a password but none of that functions or even appears now. The resident uninstall link just hangs and the product is not supported (or sold??) by AVG any longer.

Any ideas for removing the program or for getting support??

It doesn't actually block the language. It also warns users who log into social networking sites that their activity will be monitored, and stores their login credentials so that parents then have full access to their account
