Do you mean AVG, as in Grisoft AVG anti-virus software?

Or AGP, as in Advanced Graphics Processor?

AGP Mini-Port drivers are the driver for the AGP slot for a graphics card on older motherboards. For some systems, you cannot fully uninstall the AGP Port driver.

The best you can do, is to fully disable the AGP driver.

First, you need to have a PCI video card.

From Device Manager, remove your existing Graphics Adapter.

Follow the instructions to install a PCI video card in your system. If you have an integrated graphics adapter, you will need to disable it.

Once you are running on the PCI graphics adapter, open device manager again. Now, remove the AGP Port.

You may also need to perform a manual installation of the chip-set drivers for the motherboard. Make sure to NOT install the AGP mini-port driver.

However, if you plan to go back to an AGP graphics adapter, or use the on-board integrated video, you do NEED the AGP mini-port driver.
