I am OUTRAGED that this program was inserted into my computer and - via AVG - is trying to take over as my defaultweb browser. I appear to be unable to uninstall it. AVG SHOULD BE HIGHLY CRITICIZED FOR THIS STUNT!

In reply to Davids comment above, go to your internet explorer options, in the Manage tab select Mange add ons. From here disable all avg items.
