    You could just use the built-in Windows Defender.

    AVG has a full time free version. You probably downloaded it but accidently selected the "let me try the full version first" option.

    Use the Geek uninstaller and clean out everything AVG puts in the regs.

    Revo is what I used for year before I found the Geek one.
