Already Uninstalled AVAST Free Anti-Virus Problems
« on: November 06, 2021, 11:53:59 PM »
Hi, there!  I uninstalled AVAST Free quite a while ago.  I am trying to get rid of all of AVAST's Registry Keys and I am getting messages in the Registry that say:

Error Deleting Values
Unable to Delete All Specified Values

If the anti-virus was uninstalled, why is this happening?  How do I delete AVAST completely from my Windows 10 system?

This was the major reason why I uninstalled AVAST to begin with.  Each time it updated, it would take over my web browser and I'd see a message within the browser's settings stating something about "managed by your organization" when there is no organization and I'm the ONLY person who uses my computer.  Now, I'm dealing with registry keys that belong to AVAST that I can't delete.  Not happy, to say the least.  How do I get rid of this???  Thanks for any and all replies.
