How to uninstall avast
« on: September 26, 2015, 12:47:31 AM »
Hi guys,
I have realized that my win7 starts 20 minutes instead of 5 seconds cause of avastsvc.exe which is unkillable.  During this 20 minutes it downloaded so much of some shit that it completely filled my c: drive.

I understand now having viruses on computer with avast is unprobable cause there will be no space for them and they will no processor to run on. I imagine that putting my computer into lake will protect it from viruses even better and with same results as having avast - i cant work on my computer  ;)

So i have decided to remove avast (after this 20 minutes) and it told my that i cant. Which make it even worse than most of the viruses i have met since i have got my pc in year 1995.

Is there any way to get rid of this AVAST virus software other than hard formating c:? Will formating help or i should just buy new comp?
Thanks in advance

Yours Petr

How to uninstall avast - continuation
« Reply #1 on: September 26, 2015, 01:03:20 AM »
Ok, so after 2 reboots avast started uninstalling... for 20 minutes so far it is creating "recovery point" (recovery to what?)

So far avast took 2 hours of my time and I am eager to see how deep this rabbit hole is ;)
