blueyes..

Scroll down to the appropriate tools, on the following lists:

AVG Remover

Avira AntiVir Removal Tool and The Registry Cleaner Tool
http://www.avira.com/en/support/support_downloads.html

Best of luck..

A little bit unclear.

Either they are hidden, so they don't show.
Or they are not hidden, so they show in My Computer, so you can delete them from there.

What's your problem?

I like Revo Uninstaller using their Advanced mode to get rid of all kinds of below the surface files.

Bad news is you would have to reinstall AVG and Avira
then use Revo.
