Uefi win 8.1 = Uninstall Heck??
« on: September 30, 2013, 07:03:07 PM »
Total fubar limbo at this point. "Uninstalled" free version through control panel after multiple bsod's in win 8.1 that seem to be avast related, it acted like it uninstalled but the service is still listed and "self protects" if touched, the dir still there. Aswclear does not work ufei/win 8.1 seems to preclude safe mode reboot, it is greyed in msconfig, the reboot to safe in aswclear does not work. Re-install crashes out right after privacy statement, any suggestions?

Windows 8.1 is a BETA, so things will not always work correctly!

It is an anti-spam measure and it is only for the first three posts.
