Hi Gerald, You can remove Avast with the removal tool very easily. Read all the steps first, and there's a download link for the tool below the steps. Here's the steps: 1. Press enter on the, AvastClear, .EXE file. 2. You will get the following message:
Avast Antivirus Clear It is recommended to run this tool from Windows Safe Mode. Do you want to do that? Press "Yes" to reboot into Safe Mode now and run this tool from there. Press "No" to continue running this tool as it is (not recommended). Yes No 3. Tab to the, No button, & press enter or spacebar. Now press the spacebar on the, Uninstall button, to start the uninstall process as Administrator. After Avast is uninstalled you should get a prompt to restart the computer. When the computer reboots you can check to see if any remnants of the program are left behind. The 1 time I used this removal tool the only remnant I found left behind was an Avast folder in the Program Files, & Program Data folders on the root of the C drive, but I did not check the registry. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/q0hfbuog4ep8oyz/AAAMzSaeMUZRJCsHBG6iQJCja?dl=1 Take care. Mike. Go Dodgers! Sennt from my iBarstool. Arguing with a woman is like reading a software license agreement. In the end you have to ignore everything, & click I agree. ----- Original Message ----- From: Gerald Levy To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Monday, April 30, 2018 4:11 AM Subject: [JAWS-Users] What Happened to CCleaner Slim Version? When I launched CCleaner this morning to clean up my hard drive, I was greeted with the message that a new version, 5.42, was available for download. Normally, I download the slim version of CCleaner from the Builds page below, but when I went to this page, I could not find the slim version; only the standard and portable versions. Does anyone know what happened to the slim version of CCleaner? Has it been discontinued? I am reluctant to download the standard version because it will automatically install Avast anti-virus surreptitiously, which is difficult to impossible to remove without sighted help. I have Unchecky installed on my computer, but there no longer seems to be a detectable check box on the Standard installer interface which can be unchecked to prevent the installation of Avast. Is there any way to install the standardversion of CCleaner without also installing Avast? Or is there another site from where the slim version of CCleaner 5.42 can be downloaded? Thanks. https://www.ccleaner.com/ccleaner/builds Gerald For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
