Title: aswArKrn driver is present after uninstall
Post by: psw on April 24, 2008, 01:47:47 PM

I made uninstall avast from VM and found that aswArKrn driver is the only one which is present after uninstall (in stopped state). Is it expected behaviour or uninstall bug?

hey, i don't think I'm sure, but i believe that that has occurred because of the registry, when you uninstall a program some parts of the file stay there, but again I'm not pro on this.
sincerely yours,

Uninstall leftover...  :( maybe Avast Uninstall (http://www.avast.com/eng/avast-uninstall-utility.html) tool should take care of it.

aswArKrn.sys is part of the standalone antirootkit tool, not avast itself.
