I have been working with avast! Engineers, and we have a partial solution available for uninstalling avast! V2014 versions, as I want to replace them with Endpoint. The uninstaller is a modified version of avastclear and does NOT need to be run in safe mode, but will require that the avast! self defense module be disabled in advance.
I am going into the test stage now!
Sincerely,
J.R. "AutoSandbox Guy" Guthrie
