Remove Grisoft AVG From Ubuntu

Grisoft AVG is a popular anti-virus program. Many users have found that running AVG alongside other applications causes their computers to run slowly. AVG is a notorious memory hog during startup, updates and scanning. Ubuntu users noticing this slowdown may want to remove Grisoft AVG from their systems. Unlike some applications, AVG comes complete with an uninstaller to make the removal process quick and simple. If you're upgrading to a new version of AVG, AVG will automatically uninstall the previous version.

Instructions

    • 1

      Go to "Applications."

    • 2

      Choose the category under which AVG is installed. Move your mouse over the AVG menu group and select "Uninstall AVG." Follow the wizard prompts to complete the removal.

    • 3

      Go to "Applications--Add/Remove" if you wish to uninstall AVG through Add/Remove programs instead.

    • 4

      Type "AVG" in the search box.

    • 5

      Uncheck "Grisoft AVG" and click "Apply." You may need to restart your system after removal.

Tips & Warnings

  • If AVG is running slowly, try upgrading to the newest version instead of removing the program entirely.

  • Install an alternate anti-virus program after removing AVG to prevent viruses.
