There is a problem in some instances in the removal of AVG. Even a later version of AVG cannot always remove an earlier version automatically and you have to remove using the AVG uninstaller or "via Add or Remove" in Control Panel. When that doesn't work you have to fire up Regedit do a search on AVG and delete all entries relating to AVGx where x relate to version numbers, The you can remove the folder containing AVG and any remaining shortcuts, etc.
When i ran AVG, i had total nightmares uninstalling it, and having to resort to Reg hacks, deleting folders etc. Horrible
