Ok, first start up in Safe Mode and follow the steps for a Silicon Mac.

Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support


In the Finder click on the Go menu, then choose Go To Folder and enter this in the box there:

/Library/LaunchDaemons


There are 7 files you need to move to the trash:

  • com.avg.hub.schedule.plist
  • com.avg.hub.xpc.plist
  • com.avg.tuneup.engine.xpc.plist
  • com.avg.tuneup.services.submit.plist
  • com.avg.tuneup.services.xpc.plist
  • com.avg.tuneup.uninstall.plist
  • com.avg.tuneup.update.xpc.plist


Then back in the Finder choose the same Go > Go to Folder and enter:

/Library/LaunchAgents


Move these 3 files to the trash:

  • com.avg.hub.plist
  • com.avg.tuneup.plist
  • com.avg.tuneup.update.plist


Now go to your Applications folder and move AVGTuneUp to the trash. Empty the trash and restart your computer again normally to exit Safe Mode and you should be done.
