Title: Uninstall issues
Post by: jct3531 on November 27, 2020, 12:38:26 AM

I never ordered this anti-virus software and didn't (to my knowledge) download it.  I have done everything I can think of to uninstall it according to your instructions.  The software is no longer installed on my laptop but I can't get rid of the "Avast free antivirus" listing on my start menu.  I don't want anything on my PC that I did not choose to have there.  Please let me know how to permanently remove every trace of the software.  Thank you, Jonathan Tieman
