Sorry for my late reply, I had my pc on NO Internet, because I don't have a virus protector. Still don't, but I had to check if you had a sollution for me.
My laptop is a Latitudde E5420, windows 7, Professional, service pack 1 and I did not have any other avast version on it accept the one I bought. I've checked the other pc's their avast status, and all is as it should be it has end date 2014 and the remaining days. Except my laptop.
When I say NOTHING that is what I mean, on my machine when I go CP and I click uninstal/change always something pops up to ask me if I want to uninstal or if I'm sure,right... Well with Avast it doesn't do none of that, it just shows it's busy with my request, the only thing is it just stays there as if I never requested it to be installed.
Another thing I went into msconfig and wanted to take it of my start up programs, when I untick it and click apply, the tick just goes back. so I can't even take it off my start up list...
Now I have The advanced System Care6 on my machine(forgot all about that) and realised it comes with a (force) uninstaller, so I used that to get rid of avast and any attachement it has on my machine, and it finally uninstalled, I can't find it in my list of programmes...
The only thing is it somehow is STILL on my start up list, So I'll take your advice an run this Avast cleanup tool I got from you in safemode and be back hopefully with good news and a protected machine.
For all the tickets I've submitted to avast,you are the only ones that try to come up with some kind of sollution for me, for that I'm grateful.
I'll try it out now!
Cheers
J
