I just tried to uninstall Avast from my iMac, and am finding it to be challenging to put it mildly. I first used the Uninstall program on the disk image without success. I then searched out every Avast file that I could using Spotlight, moved them to trash and then emptied the trash. Tried to open a website that Avast doesn't like (which is why I'm dumping Avast in the first place), and somehow Avast is still actively blocking this website.
Next I installed a cleaner program (Mac Cleaner) to get rid of Avast. It was not able to find any Avast files to remove. WTF?!?
I am now officially over my head. I have looked at several pages with instructions for how to remove Avast, and all of them have told me to do just what I have done.
Yes, I have restarted the Mac several times in the process of trying everything above. It seems to make no difference what I do, Avast just will not go away!
Please help!
