Just to point out that I installed AVG on multiple systems. I *always* untick the box when it pushes AVG “security” toolbar and AVG *always* installs it regardless.

I’d very much appreciate if we stopped telling users that they are careless when in truth all this “me, me, me” software forces unwanted registrations and advertising on users. Users are victims of bad practice, not responsible for it.

Reference to AVG security tool bar removal, I unchecked it, but it keeps coming back when I open a new window.

Hey would you mind letting me know which hosting company you’re working with? I’ve loaded your blog in 3 completely different internet browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot quicker then most. Can you recommend a good hosting provider at a reasonable price? Thanks a lot, I appreciate it!

I have tried every answer on the internet to remove this AVG Security Search from my PC. I installed AVG (I know use Avast) and uninstralled it..this did not work. I literraly spent hours last night alone. Today I turned on my computer and it was still there!! One of the suggestions had been to go into tools and go to manage add ons. In search provider…I had Bing, Google and AVG. I tried this several times but the AVG security search could not be deleted because the “remove button” stayed gray. Today, I tried something different (which may be obvious to o thers but not to me) I made Google my Default (AVG was the default) once I made this change the AVG “remove button” did not gray and I could remove it. It is whatever search engine is the default that cannot be deleted.

To remove the toolbar from AVG 2011:

Close your browsers.
Go to the c:\program files\avg\avg10 folder in windows explorer.
Rename the Toolbar folder to something else like Removed.
Restart your browser.
It shouldn’t come back unless you do a repair on the AVG install.
