How do I remove Avast completely from my computer?

[shira]

I have tried to un-install avast from my computer unsuccessfully.
Error messages that show up are:AAVM subsystem detected a RPC error;a-ball icon in system tray.
or shows AVAST!--a setiface error has occurred-2
I would really like to remove Avast completely from my computer. Please guide me in the right direction to do so.
Sincerely,
shira getting frustrated

First (re)try to remove it via Add-Remove programs. If that fails, please use this tool:

This should do the trick.

This looks like a failed install and subsequent problem with uninstall.

If it is your intentions to reinstall and you still get the setiface error try this:
For XP, try Windows, Run and type:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe "C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\Setup\setiface.dll",RunSetup

For AAVM subsytem detected and RPC error. http://www.avast.com/eng/faq-other-questions.html#idt_1539
