 This worked for me. Thanks!

1) Download the AVG Recovery CD at:

Once you boot up your PC off of the CD, select the first option. When the program loads go to
Utilities --> File Manager

from there go to

mnt
sda# (usually 1 will be your windows partition)

2) Go to your Program Files(x86) and rename the AVG folder by hitting F6 while highlighting
the folder and name it to "garbage" or something

3) Restart your PC

4) Once in windows, rename that "garbage" folder back to AVG

5) Download the following removal tool program for your windows (32 or 64 bit)
