If you run:

gksudo avggui &

It will run. The guide just tells you how to create the menu item which you can make if you run:

alacarte

Then add a new item to run the above command (Don't add the '&' character, its not needed)

If it doesn't or you still want to uninstall you can run:

dpkg -l | grep -i avg

You can see the package which is insalled, You can then use:

sudo apt-get --purge remove packagename

to remove it.
