Trying to delete an application that always says it is open (in this case AVG AntiVirus.app) This is the troubleshooting I've done so far:


Went to Applications>Utilities>Activity Monitor and force quit the process. Shortly after doing that AVG shows up again in activity monitor.
I went to terminal and typed in rm -rf hit return and then dragged the application to terminal. Once it showed me the path of the file I hit delete. Then terminal came back and said (-bash: /Applications/AVG AntiVirus.app: is a directory)


How the heck do I delete AVG AntiVirus on my computer?
