Is the avast4 folder on you program files? Can you check inside the temp and see is there any files or folder related with avast? If yes try delete them. Im sure that im telling a newbie question.

If fabiofr continues to experience this problem it would probably be worthwhile to download the new avast! uninstall utility from here and run it. 

If, when it is run, there are any error messages please post them here.

Uninstall with Revouninstaller at highest setting
If reboot is necessary for uninstallation, using RevoUninstaller will be, imho, worse than using just the uninstaller. Revo will remove the files necessaries to finish the uninstallation after boot and will break the process, whatever is the level (moderate, etc.).

In support of Tech's remarks as the avast security becomes stronger I think it will be essential to manage removal with avast tools designed for their specific purpose.

Sure, RevoUninstaller won't be able to uninstall avast properly.
