Uninstalling Anti Virus
The AVG anti virus free trial has ended so I have tried to remove the program
using the 'unistall a program' feature on my laptop. It seem to remove sucessfully but when checking the security, it still shows AVG as running....Is there anything you can suggest to remove the program before I install a new anti virus??

Make sure all the AVG services have been stopped, deactivated and removed from your system. Do this by running 'services.msc' from the start menu search box, you need administrator privileges. You may have to reinstall AVG first, then kill the services before uninstalling. Please report back if the problem persists. Charlie42

Uninstalling Anti Virus
Additionally, uninstalling while in Safe Mode may help.

I think the free trial of the commercial version reverts to the free version on expiry....
