I'm not familiar with AVG, but is there a configuration option as far as telling the software how to look for updates?
Do you have a photo of the actual window that comes up?

AVG
At bottom right is settings for AVG.
Under Dial-up uncheck use dial-up connections.

You can disable it, but you can't remove it. If you remove it, on start up, the computer will find "new hardware" and re-install it.
Go to Connections in Tools, Internet Options. If you see anything in the box under Dial Up or Virtual something or other, click it, then remove it..
