@NoelC...........Do I have to be in safe mode to uninstall Avast?
Thanks.
If you use the tool then yes.
Just restart the computer and before you see the windows logo ( with win 8.X) press and hold F8 untill it beeps.
Then login like you normaly do, and you are in savemode.
Or run the tool now, and avast will do it for you ( reboot, savemode, uninstall, boot normal).
