Sorry, have you tried to uninstall AVG via safe mode? If not, reboot your device in safe mode: http://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?urlname=How-to-reboot-your-computer-into-Safe-Mode and run AVG Clear and remover tool to uninstall AVG with its traces.
Refer this article: http://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?urlname=How-to-troubleshoot-issues-after-upgrade-to-the-latest-AVG-antivirus-product to download AVG Clear and remover tool.
Note: Run AVG Clear first. After restart, go to Run window (press windows key and R key simultaneously) and type the following comments to delete the folders manually.
1. Type “Temp” and press enter, remove all the files.
2. “%temp%” and remove all the files.
3. %appdata% - Remove all the AVG folders.
4. %programdata% - Open the AVG folder and remove the old files.
5. Type C: and press enter, delete AVG remover folder.
Please go to c: drive-> program files and delete the AVG files. We are here if you need further help.
When I try to AVG_Clear, I am getting the following error : The stub cannot run installer/updater executable ‘c:\Users\shardha\AppData\Local\Temp\_av_iup.tm~a04864\instup.exe’ (code 0x10b)
When I try to delete the folder myself, it gives me 'You need administrator access' kind of messages although I am logged in as admin.
Please advise.

Did you run AVG Clear from safe mode and still get the same error?
If it is, please run this reset access tool http://download.avg.com/filedir/util/AVG_ResetAccess.exe and then try to remove AVG folders from your computer.
We're glad we were able to put you at ease. If you need anything else, do not hesitate to let us know.
