1. Uninstall avast from Control Panel first.
2. Boot.
3. Use Avast Uninstall for complete uninstallation.
4. Boot.

Why would you want to get rid from avast?

adpb.dll is an ashampoo file:

Description of ADPB.dll
This is a component of  Ashampoo Media Player.

ash_inet.dll is also an ashampoo file.

This is a component of  Ashampoo Magic Defrag.
.

ash_lang.dll could also be an ashampoo file (it isn't on my system as I don't have ashampoo).
Quote
AshampooPhotoOptimizer\Ashampoo Photo Optimizer\bin\ash_lang.dll

ashppcor.dll would also appear to be an ashampoo file.

So none of these files appear to belong to avast (google and system search), it looks like you are confusing these 'ash'ampoo files with some of the avast files which start with ash. So it looks like your problem is with ashampoo not avast.

I too would be interested in why you want to uninstall avast, any problems we can help you with ?
