I've inherited a system that was protected with a centrally managed version of Avast. Sadly, the password has been lost over time and the system is no longer managable. I tried various things, as suggested on this forum, to get back into the management console, to no avail. I ended up uninstalling the management console. I've tried to uninstall the clients but I required the password to do so. I used the uninstall utility to remove the software but it's not done so cleanly - there are still registry entries and a service that I cannot manage. When installing Avast 5 Pro manually, the networking becomes unstable. Users are not able to consistently save to network shares. They're all running Vista with the latest updates.
Is there a way of cleanly uninstalling the product? I get the feeling I will be re-installing these clients, which is a good bit of work I'd rather not do!
