@ Gopher John
You mention "I uninstalled V5 and ran the new AswClear.exe," but the version number of the one on the http://www.avast.com/eng/avast-uninstall-utility.html page is the same version as that used with 4.8 I believe.

So I don't know if it has been changed/updated the version number is 1.0.0.1 although the file properties show a date modified of 31 December 2009, 12:41:03, which pre-dates the release of avast 5.0.377

I downloaded from http://public.avast.com/~forejt/aswClear.exe yesterday as it was posted to the forum.  The version number hasn't changed.

Internally, it shows created on January 26, 2010

Thanks for that.

Yes, that looks like an internal build, not yet available for general use or it would be on the main site. If that has been optimised for or to include version5 hopefully it will be signed off for general use and posted on the mail site.

Since the two aswClear.exe files have the same name, I found the easiest way to check which is
which is by the icon displayed for each file. In Windows Explorer or Total Commander, the icon for
4.8 is the old blue one while the icon in the v5 version of aswClear is the orange ball.
