Norton Download Manager that I cannot remove, even though I use AVG

How can I permanently remove this from my laptop; it pops up offering to install a Norton program compatible with Windows 10? I don't want any Norton product and it is annoying in the extreme - popping up all the time.

Hello James,

We request you to contact the Norton support to remove this particular program because they will have the special tool to remove the traces of Norton program.
Thank You.
