Another thing to try is to open task manager and find avast running process and stop it. You can also probably do this with something like end it all. Once it is closed removal should be easy.

I am not sure how to use avast, but one thing you can try is booting your computer into safe mode, and then try to remove the program. However, you may need sighted help to do this, because you will not be able to use your screen reader. To boot into safe mode, press the F 8 key while the computer is booting. >From the advanced boot options menu that appears, you will need to go to the safe mode option with your arrow keys, and press enter. After your computer boots into safe mode, try removing the program. There may be a better solution, but as I am not familiar with the Avast software, this is the only solution I can think of at this time. You could also try removing the program manually, but this process can be complicated, and dangerous if you delete the wrong thing. Have a good day.
