Run Reg clean on the computer. The Microsoft version of this utility can be downloaded from http://www.soft32.com/Download/Free/RegClean/4-239-1.html
Do a manual search through the registry, looking for all instances of the text "AVG", examining them and deleting those entries which you are sure do not belong there any more. NOTE THAT THIS IS A HIGH RISK ACTIVITY WHICH CAN LEAVE YOUR COMPUTER INOPERATIVE so be careful if you do this.
Go to start and run regedit, when it opens, HKEY LOCAL MACHINE/SOFTWARE then look up AVG then delete that folder
Use free software called Revo Uninstaller
Tuneup utilities may help you force uninstall
Delete the files manually from the registry
