How do you close avg antivirus?

Answer 1

Open the User Interface, click on Tools, click Advanced Settings, on the left scroll down, there is "temporarily disable AVG protection" near the bottom, click on that and check the box on the right. It only lets you go up to 15 min, but it does disable each component so you can install a program.

Also you can go into task manager and close the processes with AVG in the names, there'll be 2 or 3, hunt them down.

Answer 2

Shut down the three services of AVG.
Click start and type "services"
Select "services"
Find the three AVG services.
Right-click on each one and select "stop"
