To remove the AVG toolbar in Firefox...

  1. In the Firefox menu: Tools > Add-ons > Disable AVG Security Toolbar.
  2. Restart Firefox.

 

Unfortunately on the 23 Jun 2010, AVG decided to send a message to all their PAID users advising them to install the AVG toolbar and change their search providers to Yahoo. By default - this message also sets up Yahoo as yoru search engine.

BottomUp Webs has lodged a complaint to AVG on behalf of our clients.

BottomUp Webs AVG clients can call us for a free fixup.
