Hi Dan, Found this by searching for "Remove Avast" in Google. And it's from Avast themselves, so should be exactly what you need. http://www.avast.com/eng/avast-uninstall-utility.html George. From: guispeak@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:guispeak@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dan Kerstetter Sent: 21 August 2008 18:28 To: guispeak@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [guispeak] Problem Removing Avast I decided to put Avast on one of my machines after the AVG free bin file problem. Now I've decided to reinstall AVG free after removing Avast. , I cannot, under any circumstances, remove this program from my system and I can't stop it from running. When I shut all the Avast components down and tried uninstalling it, I got an error message. I then tried manually removing the program, including all the files in the application data folders. Everything went but the program files folder and the registry key. I'm pretty good at doing this sort of thing; so I'm really stumped. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Dan Kerstetter
