Hello Joe;

well, I also tried the suggestion, "App remover", I found the program did not remove all of the avast files. I tried the program 3 times, however, each time I restarted my computer, avast was running in my system tray. also, I tried, going to msconfig and unchecking the program in startup, however, it kept showing in the system tray, and, for some strange reason, each time I went back to, msconfig, I found the start avast at startup was rechecked.

I finally went to msconfig,/start up services, and, stopped it from running their.
when I restarted computer, I then had to clean out the registry.

it wasn't an easy chore to rid myself of the avast5.exe.

Thanks, Lisa,
I used your suggestion and ran the software. It didn't find avast but the problem remains. Do you or anyone on the list have any other suggestions? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lisa Belville" <missktlab1...@verizon.net>

Hi. There's a neat shareware program someone posted about on this list called App remover. It removes antivirus and security software completely so you can install other antivirus and security software.

I used it to remove AVAST and installed MSE and don't have any lingering AVAST issues.

The link to download it is:

The program is easy to use and works great with JAWS.

Come on, be honest... you don't really LOL when you text it now do you?

Good morning List,
I recently discontinued using Avast, and installed MSE. The issue I now have is that several times a day a banner pops up. It advises me to update with Avast,

I removes Avast thru the Add Delete program. How can I get rid of the banner? Any help would be appreciated
Regards,
Joe
