If you have installed it as a standalone program or as part of another software installation, you can remove the toolbar using the uninstall a program control panel applet of the operating system. Uninstallation of the toolbar depends largely on how it has been installed on the operating system. To disable the AVG Security Toolbar in Internet Explorer, right-click the toolbar in the browser and uncheck the AVg Security Toolbar option of the context menu. The button should turn to enable, which you can click on to turn the toolbar on again in the browser. Click on disable to turn it off in the browser. Load about:addons in the browser's address bar and locate the AVG SiteSafety plugin under plugins here. What you can do however is disable the toolbar in the browser which blocks it from being loaded during browser start or use. The toolbar is installed from outside the web browser, which comes with the issue that you can't uninstall the toolbar from within the browser. The toolbar itself offers search, weather information, a link to a speedtest and other features that are not really related to security. This is similar to what Web of Trust does. So what's the purpose of the toolbar? It ships with a link scanner that displays security information about websites.
