How do I uninstall the AVG Free anti virus 2011 toolbar?

  • I just downloaded the free version of AVG anti virus 2011 and during the install it asked if I would like to install the toolbar and if I would like to change my search engine to Yahoo!, I choose to just go with the toolbar but now I'm regretting it. I've been googled it and all the pages that say something about how to remove it are giving me error messages. Can anyone point me in the right direction. Thanks

  • Answer:

    You SHOULD be able to get to an AVG page, but in case you can't, I'll paste the instructions: "How to uninstall AVG Security Toolbar Please download the current installation file of AVG from the Download section of our website, and run it to start the installation process. The installation process recognizes the existence of installed AVG and the Add/Remove Components, Repair installation and Uninstall options are offered. * Please close your Internet browser. * Choose the Add/Remove components option. * Skit the following two steps (Activate your license, Custom options) by pressing the Next button. * On the next page uncheck the Improve my Internet protection with the AVG Security Toolbar option. * Finish the installation wizard and update AVG. This way the AVG Security Toolbar will be permanently uninstalled from your computer. Note: Uninstalling the AVG Security Toolbar has no negative effect on the level of security provided by LinkScanner component. The only consequence of missing toolbar is an absence of some of the options, and less verbose information about the threats found by the LinkScanner component. The main settings of the LinkScanner component can be still configured in AVG User Interface." http://free.avg.com/us-en/faq.num-2977.pnuid-1285273390
