You didn't say which OS you were using but try taking out of startup
using msconfig. Uncheck it.

I just right click on the AVG icon in my task bar and close the "centre
from there. Admittedly it might not close it all down, but
installations that require AV closures have not complained.

There's no single buttonclick way to do it. You have to pop into the
properties for the resident shield and uncheck the boxes.

Run msconfig, click on startup and uncheck everything that starts with avg.
then reboot the machine.

There might also be a service associated with AVG if I recall it
correct, so check that out too for sure.

Enable the Control Panel, and disable the Resident Shield, and uncheck
everything "AVG" in msconfig startup menu. The new AV might detect
it, anyway, so you might have to uninstall AVG to install the new one.
I found that to be the case.
