Try installing it, then uninstalling it. Sometimes the installation logfile is corrupted or missing, then it won't uninstall. Reinstalling it will make a new logfile, it will then uninstall using the new logfile.

Make sure to try removing the program using the Add/Remove Program... option from Windows Control Panel as well as AVG's own uninstall program. To access AVG's uninstall program, go to Start Menu > All Programs > AVG > Uninstall AVG. Should both fail then you have to use an uninstaller programs to remove the program. Uninstaller programs remove all registry keys and system files belonging to a program. You can try Your Uninstaller which comes with a free trial period (http://www.ursoftware.com/).

How does it work?

Perhaps you are wondering how Your Uninstaller! uninstaller software completely removes applications so quickly. As you know, there are many installers in the world, such as InstallShield, Wise Installer, Microsoft Installer and many others. Most applications are built using these installers. Each installer has a unique install database, which makes it difficult to find all the changes programs' make to your computer. That's why other uninstallers can only uninstall part of an application-leaving some files and registry keys. To solve this problem, Your Uninstaller! uses it's unique technique: SmartUninstall™. SmartUninstall™ has a database containing information about all installers on the market; so when it uninstalls a program, it automatically detects which installer the application used, then it simply uninstalls the application properly. That's the reason Your Uninstaller! can detect and completely remove all the programs and icons on your computer.
