Get rid of "Don't lose your full protection!"

I have three AVG SW installed; AVG AntiVirus FREE, AVG PC TuneUp (paid), AVG Zen. Now I frequently get a popup-window saying "Don't lose your full protection!".
Dont lose your full protection pop-up.

To my understanding it is the AVG Zen trail that have expired. Then I try to uninstall AVG Zen but it don't work. I get the message below stating that Zen is integrated in other AVG SW and I have to uninstall both AVG Protection and AVG PC TuneUp.

You cannot uninstall AVG Zen now.

How can I get rid of the annoying popup about that the trial have expired?

Hi Rajarajan, 
Thx for looking into this. The "Don't lose ..." popup image was included in my post. You can also view it here: https://goo.gl/SJ2zq4

The AVG Zen main window you can find here: https://goo.gl/OTudpW

Thx/Daniel

Hello Daniel,
Thank you so much for providing the screen-shot which helped us in identifying the issue. You are receiving the pop-up since the 'trial' version of AVG Internet Security has expired. To resolve the issue, I suggest you to remove AVG traces using remover tool( http://aa-download.avg.com/filedir/util/AVG_Remover.exe ). Please restart to complete the uninstalling process. After running AVG Remover, you may need to manually uninstall/delete any remaining AVG applications(also AVG ZEN) from 'Control panel' and also 'search' for a folder "AVG Remover"(usually in 'C' drive) and please delete it manually. And then I request you to install 'AVG Antivirus Free'(http://files-download.avg.com/inst/mp/AVG_Antivirus_Free_692.exe) and then install 'AVG Performance'(http://avgclick.me/1FmXxG7
). Please follow these instructions and let us know the status. Thank you.

Thx. I have followed the steps and now we just hope that the pop-up window is gone. I will know in a day or two. 
The main window at AVG Zen now say that the trial will expire in 29 days. I hope that there will be no freqently pop-up showing then. https://goo.gl/GAaQDC

In the AVG AntiVirus FREE main window should I go to "Options" in top right corner and "Activate"?

Hello Daniel,
I believe that your product 'AVG Performance' is not activated properly. I request you to 'logout' of the AVG ZEN network once by clicking on email address button -> 'Log out as admin' -> 'Leave This Network' and then click on 'Connect' button and login using your AVG My Account credentials. Please follow these instructions and let us know the status. It is not required to go to AVG Free and then 'activate' since AVG Free does not require manual activation using a license number. Thank you.

Hi, It worked with logout/login. Now the text "Expires in 29 days" is gone. Thx!
