By looking closely at the properties of the AVG icon, you should be able
to establish the location where AVG is.
When you have it, manually delete it by going to its location and
deleting the folder it is in.
If all goes well, you may be able to re-install a better antivirus or
just replace AVG. Personally, I don't think it is up to the standard
needed these days, but it is your decision.
