I have taken Avast off of my computer, but still values in the registry that I cannot get out. I have trouble everytime I save picture as, avast is still slowing down the process even though I have manually deleted the avast folder! I KNOW it is avast, because my computer did NOT do this before I installed avast. I just cant delete some entries in the registry to rid my computer of the avast program. If I do not get instructions on how to do so, I will do system restore before avast. This program slows down my computer too much for what I use it for, I will use Avast on my other computer though, it is a great program.
