Can't uninstall any program on my PC
« on: August 30, 2014, 07:06:06 AM »
when I try to uninstall anything on my pc via the Windows control Panel (I am running Windows 7), I get 26 consecutive warning messages that says avast has blocked a threat.  Then the uninstall fails with an NSIS Error. 

The files that are blocked are all in this folder:

C:\Users\Me\AppData\Local\Temp\~nsu.tmp\

and are called AU.exe - Zu.exe (one for every letter of the alphabet).

I have tried to uninstall 5 different programs now and they are all giving me the same problem.   Any idea what could be causing this or how to fix it?

Thanks!
