I need to remove the avast! registry keys
Why?
Why did he/she give up on avast?
Anyway, if you want to check, after using the tool that David says, see, at least:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ALWIL Software
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Aavmker4
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\aswMon2\
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\aswTdi\
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\aswUpdSv\
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_AAVMKER4\
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_ASWMON2\
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_ASWTDI\
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_ASWUPDSV\
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_AVAST!_ANTIVIRUS\
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\Avast\
But there are more...
