I removed it but Kaspersky still detects it on my PC... The program i'm struggling to remove is AVG Antivirus and it's pretty annoying cause Kaspersky doesn't allow me to install cause of it.

Hi there..Disable Kaspersky leaving just your Windows Firewall running, then go HERE and download the frre trial....Once you have downloaded and installed it, run it to clear all instances of AVG from your registry..Restart Kaspersky, all should be good then...
 
Sorry, this sounds dumb, but I still don't know what to do... I installed the program and did a scan, it said i had a score of 95/100 for PC Health and 76/100 for Registry Health.

The problem is that AVG still isn't removed...

Sorry, ill go and have a look at that...What you can also do is disable Kaspersky again leaving your Windows Firewall up, then downlaod AVG again, then delete it..Sounds like the uninstall file might be missing or corrupt..Then you might have to have a look around programme files and delete anything that had anything to do with AVG...Try that and let me know...Also try downloading ccCleaner to clear the Registry of anything old and unused...
 
I did all that you said, but Kaspersky still says AVG is installed on my computer... this is getting frustrating, AVG and their annoying stuff...

LoL, you need to actually power off the PC, not merely reboot.
