Spyros
Thanks, I just DLed it, I'll let you know if it works. I also emailed Avast's support team about this.
Igor,
Sorry if you think I'm too upset about this, but I have been really quite patient about this. If you'd take a look at the two full pages my last thread involved, I think you'd see why I'm upset. It got to the point where nobody could tell me why I'm still having to constantly update the Avast program to get the def stamp to load before, and often during surf sessions, and now this uninstall problem.
Fortunately I can think rationally enough even when upset to try to find other possible solutions. My anger is often what leads me to the right decisions, not the wrong ones, which I much prefer to stumbling along for months succumbing to something that's not working right for me. I'm not implying it doesn't work well for you or others, but obviously it's not working for me, for whatever reason.
