Hi Barbara,
Oddly enough I had to do this today myself, and it took two attempts -
and I have sight!!
If you go to Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs (Or under P for
programs in Vista and Windows 7) - I found (in Vista) that when I
selected Remove or Uninstall, it brought up an Avast dialog, which did
NOT contain a Remove Option. (I even had a sighted guy looking with
me).
SECOND time round however, the Remove Option appeared in Avast's
dialog.
Be both thought this was decidedly weird, but asume it's a ploy to try
and persuade you to keep it.
BWT, we immediately installed "Microsoft Security Essentials", and
believe it or not, within a few minutes that had discovered a Trojan
missed by Avast!
George.

Subject: [access-uk] Avast Uninstalation Problem
I am having trouble uninstalling Avast from a netbook. Although the
program is not in the Start Up menu, it seems to start when the
computer starts. I have turned off protection, but still when I try to
remove I get an error message saying the program may be in use. There
doesn't seem to be an uninstall option within the program itself. Can
anyone help?
