Tony Tony AVG LinkScanner Uninstallation - Mac
I have a Mac running OS 10.11.6 with AVG LinkScanner installed. I cannot find a way to uninstall it, even after searching Google and reading all the forum threads about it I could. All the links for the original setup file or for another program that will uninstall it are now bad links.
I can understand your concern. To uninstall the AVG Link Scanner please follow these steps:
Download the install package of Link Scanner for Mac by clicking here https://share.avg.com/steam/PSP/Tomasek/Mac/avg_lsm_stf_all_2012_1815.dmg. The installer can be blocked by Gate Keeper. In such case deactivate Gate Keeper according to this (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202491) article.
Run the installer.
Click on Uninstall.
Welcome Screen of Link Scanner Installer
OS X may warn user to not open the installer. Please click Open.
Control question of OS X - Click Open

Mac will ask you to provide the password for the User Account that you are currently logged in (note: the Account needs to have Admin permissions in order to uninstall the Link Scanner )
After the uninstall process is allowed by Admin, the OS X will rise a request to close an Application.
In case that the uninstall won´t work:
Check the disk permissions. For OSX 10.11 use this(https://support.apple.com/kb/PH22243?locale=en_US) article.
