It found a key that I missed some how and Avast Is installed and running fine.
Which is this key? It's good to know to help other users.

Marc57, I hope you get better of your kidney soon.

Sometimes i cleaned registry of a program and then later I see another key there. Some installs are real sticky and hard to untangle. Cases where more entries turn up unexpectantly are a bit of a mystery but mostly sorted like where you found the suspect key, deleted, and ran the avast again. Thats what I have found anyway.

But its the AV leftover remnants that cause the problems thats for sure. With most programs a few loose keys and untidy bits are nothing of a problem, but with AV it seems always that there can be problems. Maybe yes, maybe no, but always potential there. And twice as bad with Symantec.,

That question was asked and answered earlier.

You're welcome, RegSeeker is a powerful tool, but in the hands of someone not familiar with the registry, darn dangerous too. like all good tools occasionally you get cut ;D

Can you remember what the key was as it may help others searching for remnants also ?

Sorry David but I didn't write it down (I know I should have, I'm on pain meds for a kidney stone problem so I'm not 100%) If it happens again (I get 2-3 computers to work on a week) I'll make sure to keep track of what it removes.

Thanks again for your help.
