Android: Uninstall AVG Antivirus - Here's how
Like most other apps, AVG Antivirus for Android can be uninstalled from your smartphone using the Application Manager - unless you have activated theft protection in the app. This guide shows you how to remove the application in both cases.
Uninstall AVG Antivirus from Application Manager
If you only used virus protection and not anti-theft protection from AVG Antivirus, the app can be easily removed via the application manager.
- Open the "Settings" menu on your smartphone or tablet.
- Call up the point "Applications" or "Application Manager". Search for the entry "AntiVirus" and tap on it.
- Tap the "Uninstall" button and confirm the removal of the app with the OK button.
Uninstall AVG with theft protection activated
If you used AVG Antivirus theft protection, the app also created an entry as device administrator on your device. In this case, you can no longer remove the app directly from the Application Manager. Follow the steps below to uninstall.
- In the AVG Antivirus program interface, tap the program icon at the top left to open the menu. Then select "Help".
- Tap "Uninstall" and confirm that you want to remove the AntiVirus app. Then click the OK button to start the uninstallation.
