to boot without the av you can use msconfig.exe from the run bar and use the selective startup. uncheck everything under the main checkbox and apply/reboot... the pc should now boot without the av running...

or you can try to dissable the antivirus from the av pannel. then close it down. open taskmanager and remove any associated execuatble/processes that belong to avg that are still running.

now go to the avg install folder and delete it... now run a reg cleaner like ccleaner and remove all the entries that pertain to avg.. reboot and avg should be gone...
try your games again...
btw avira is a much better free solution than avg. avg is pretty poor even when payed for so i wouldn't recommend any 1 use it... not to mention the fact that it becomes invasive to the system over time..
if you do choose to run avira you will need to run an anti malware app with it. i chose malwarebytes but it doesnt activley scan in the free version. if you cant afford or dont want to pay then use super antispyware... ad-aware may also have real time scanner and is also a good choice.
