Removing Program from my MAC

Hi, I need to remove a program, which is called AVAST Security from my MAC. I know usually, you just grab a program from the finder menu & drag it to the trash, but it will not go into the trash, as a message pops up saying it is still open. I took it off the bar at the bottom, but I have NO IDEA how to close this program. If I click on it from the finder menu it wants to ask if I want an upgrade. The dang thing will NOT close. HELP!!

Uninstall according to the developer's instructions: Uninstalling Avast Security from Mac | Official Avast Support. A simple Google search found that.

There is no need to ever run any "cleaning", "optimizing", "speed-up" or anti-virus apps on a Mac. If you have uninstall them according to the developer's instructions.
