I needed to uninstall Avast to effectively run a program called autorun
eater to remove a virus from my Ipod. I discovered mostly by accident that
if you highlight Avast in the system tray and hit the application key there
are several areas to terminate avast. for example, there is a stop on
access protection control, stop protection submenu and other items. When I
went into these menu options I was able to terminate Avast and then I was
able to uninstall avast in add/remove in the XP control panel.

Now this is inconvenient news to say the least. So another software
update
leaves us in the cold.

Hi list. I tried the new Avast 5.0 free version out on my PC this
morning,
found it inaccessible with Jaws because alwil Software has changed the
interface into a graphical interface, so I restored my computer using my
backup I created with Image for Windowswhich already had Avast 4 Home
Edition. Now, what I would like to do is uninstall Avast 4 Home Edition
and
use Microsoft Security Essentials instead. I have tried to uninstall
Avast
in the past, but it didn't completely uninstall and was still in the
system
tray when I rebooted. Right now I'm still using Avast 4 Home Edition and
Windows XP Professional SP3. I'm using Jaws 9.0, the latest build. I
have
downloaded alwil Software's uninstall utility, but I'm told I will need
to
use it in Safe Mode. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks a lot.
Stanley
