I am unable to delete AVG antivirus on my iMAC because it's open and I can't stop it from running
iMac Line (2012 and Later)
And once stopped, use the developer's instructions to completely uninstall it. It serves no purpose, Macs have security built in, and as you see, it can cause problems. In fact, since there are no Mac viruses in the wild, it does nothing but cause problems.
If you can not quit this Antivirus, try to force quit by pressing keys option - command - escape, choose this application from menu and try to uninstall it again. If that didn't help, then go to activity monitor, search AVG or Avast and stop all the processes. Then try again to delete this app.
To delete the app, see How to uninstall apps on your Mac - Apple Support.
Important: do not use any other instructions especially those provided by the developer.
