1. The upgrade will then tell you to uninstall Avast first. (I had the AVG Rootkit detector on my V.I.S.T.A. box, and Sunbelt told me it would not hurt anything to keep it there. I guess the updated VIPRE begs to differ.)
2. In HKLM\Software, besides the Sunbelt keys, look in \Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall for the Sunbelt keys there. Also look for and install the Windows Installer Cleanup tool. That typically will take care of #2 (above). Too late now, but you really should have put in a phone call to Sunbelt first. A complete VIPRE or CSE uninstall is not supposed to be necessary.
