Sidebar behemoth

[macamon]

I have found reference that it has been discussed before, however I can't find the fix. How do I get rid of this monster taking up over 1/3 of my sidebar?

You can put it small. (see attachs)

If you still don't like the way it looks and want to remove it, go to Control Panel > Programs > double tap on avast! > Click on "Change" > Untick avast! gadget and follow instructions.

Hi Silk0


I don't seem to have that [ Make It Small ] button on my gadget  :'(

Is that feature only available fro windows 7 users?
I'm using... Vista 

Thanks!

Hi.

Which version of avast! (6.0.xxx) are you using?
I don't think that the resize of gadget is only a Windows 7 feature. It should be available for Vista, also.

Hi Silk0  

Avast 6.0.1000 Free

Re: Make Small Button
Defo NOT on my Avast Gadget  :'(

Yeah, I've noticed that too Hally, among other things, I have no minimise button either...(vista 32)
I do have it on win 7 though...

I can confirm that in Vista there is no any "make-it-small" button for the sidebar gadget. To get rid of it I had to reinstall Avast 6 from the scratch and to uncheck the gadget's installation option.

Something I have noticed, you can't resize any sidebar gadgets in vista (least I can't) they only change size when they are pulled off the side bar, then they get bigger...

Hi .. spg SCOTT - & - George Yves 


Thanks for letting me know 

Now starting to Think... The Gadgets Got To Go! 
Can't be doing with something that big on my Sidebar.

Thanks!

I solved all my problems with Vista by getting Windows 7.

but i dont have sidebar. i have windows xp.

XP has no sidebar functionality, hence you won't have any gadget, not even the Avast one. Already been answered multiple times here.
