HI Parham, How does one start Windows in safe mode and what is the purpose of starting in safe mode? Thanks much. All information will be greatly appreciated. Take care.

Hi there, This is exactly what I meant. This utility involves windows being executed in safe mode: 1. Download aswClear.exe on to your desktop ***2. Start Windows in Safe Mode 3. Open (execute) the uninstall utility 4. If you installed avast! in a different folder than the default, browse for it. (Note: Be careful! The content of any folder you choose will be deleted!) 5. Click REMOVE 6. Restart your computer --- Contact info: Skype: parham-d MSN: fire_lizard16 at hotmail dot com email: parham90 at GMail dot com ----- Original Message ----- From: G.W.

Hi there guys, I was wondering if there was an accessible way of removing avast that wouldn't involve Windows in safe mode? I'm considering installing it, but then I'm not sure whether I'd be able to actually get it off my system. Thanks. --- Contact info: Skype: parham-d MSN: fire_lizard16 at hotmail dot com email: parham90 at GMail dot com
