It's not available in the repositories. You need to download it from avast! site.

It's a free registration. http://www.avast.com/registration-free-antivirus.php
The process is the same for Linux and Windows.

If your Distro uses Synaptic, just completely Uninstall Avast! from there.

Yezinki,

you offer so little information about which Linux platform you're using it's impossible to give advice.  ;)

Normally, find Avast! for Linux in Synaptic, right click on it, select Uninstall, hit Apply.

Do you read their Forum ?
http://zoringroup.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2247
Visiting the 'Zorin Forum' should help you become familiar with the Distro, how to Install, and Uninstall packages.

It is unlikely anyone here has the time to do so for you.
