To uninstall the AVG Security Toolbar please proceed as follows:
- Download the latest installation file of AVG from the Download section.
- When you are prompted, please do not open this file directly from the Internet, but click the Save button and choose a location, where the installation file should be stored (we recommend saving the file to the Desktop).
- Reboot your computer
- Close all running applications, locate the downloaded AVG installation file (it has a four color square icon and its name starts with AVG_...) and launch it.
- The installation process recognizes the existence of installed AVG and the Add/Remove Components, Repair installation and Uninstall options are offered.
- Choose the Repair installation option.
- On the next page uncheck the Yes, I wish to install 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 the AVG program.
