Hi Gerald,

BTW:  It's Mike B, B, as in Boy!  LOL  LOL

When you run the Avast uninstaller there is an option to run as 
administrator which is Jaws accessible, & this what I used to remove Avast. 
I do have to admit the uninstaller works very good.  I only had to remove 1 
folder, & that was the Avast folder out of the Program Data folder on the 
root of the C drive.  The only place I didn't look for remnants was the 
registry.
Take care.  Mike.  Dodgers, try again next year!

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Accessible Alternative to CCleaner



According to a warning posted on other lists by our esteemed colleague, Mike 
D., installing the latest version of CCleaner may also surreptitiously 
install Avast anti-virus on your computer.  This is not surprising, since 
Puriform, the company that develops and markets CCleaner is now owned by 
Avast.  But unfortunately, Avast is no longer JAWS accessible.  And 
uninstalling it could be problematic because it is necessary to boot into 
safe mode in order to use the special tool to completely remove itl, 
according to the Avast site.  So is there any JAWS accessible alternative to 
CCleaner?  I am afraid to update to the latest version for fear of getting 
stuck with Avast which may be difficult to impossible to remove without 
sighted help.

Gerald
