Can't Remove AVG Antivirus Completely (MAJOR Problem)

I am having trouble uninstalling AVG Antivirus, I have sent the application to the trash and deleted but I found a directory to /Library/StagedExtensions/Applications/AVGAntivirus. I have tried to perform a root removal, terminal removal, force removal but it is classed as 'needed by macOS' which it is not. I really need this removed as it is a pest and keeps opening multiple unneeded applications (typical from a 3rd party site).

MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.15

Anti-virus apps need to be removed using the uninstall instructions provided by the software developer.

As you have partially removed items you are probably better of reinstalling AVG and then using the uninstall

instructions.
