Problem removing AVG

Mar 15, 2017 1:36AM PDT

I recently un-installed AVG but the files are still there, and AVG User interface still pops up in my task manager now and then.
I cant delete the files as i get an error message saying the files are open somewhere else and cant be removed.
Is there any way to get rid of AVG completely?

using the removal tool is usually the best way to go. sometimes you will have to reinstall avg in order for it to work properly.
