Uninstall AVG

Hi, 
Can you help me uninstall AVG from my laptop, I've tried for the past 3/4 days and it said it has failed. 
I have a Windows 10 HP Notebook and anytime I try to uninstall AVG it gives me an error code 0xE0010663 : General error (0x0663) ).
I already havde an anti virus on my laptop that I have paid for. Just need to remove AVG since my laptop is performing really poorly.

Thanks for your help

Hello Michele,

I can understand your concern. Please follow the below steps to uninstall AVG completely from your computer.

Download and run AVG Clear tool: https://share.avg.com/steam/PSP/AVG2017/AVG_Clear.exe. This tool will help with removing antivirus component of AVG 2017 and its traces.

Open tool
User Account control - click "Yes"
Windows safe mode - click "No" (we cannot recommend use the tool in safe mode, because there is a problem with compability)
Choose installed version (AVG Free, AVG Internet Security)
Click "Uninstall"
Click "Restart computer"

After restart, run AVG Remover and remove all other supported products and remnants of AVG (ZEN, Framework,...).

Open AVG_Remover.exe (http://download.avg.com/filedir/util/AVG_Remover.exe)
User Account control - click "Yes"
Click "CONTINUE"
Select all products, and click "Remove"
Click "Restart" and restart PC
If is displayed dialog window (Open file – Security Warning) after restart, click "Run" and let AVG Remover remove traces
If is AVG Remover asking for restart PC, restart PC again

If you face any difficulties, feel free to contact us.
