Registry entries of Avast!
« on: February 27, 2011, 09:05:19 AM »
Is there a web page available stating all the registry entries made by Avast! AIS?

I like to clean up my registry of all entries made for a "real" clean install of my licensed AIS6 or AIS5 for that matter (my subscription end somewhere in 2013).
I noticed entries remaining in Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\CurrentControlSet\Emun\Root\LEGACY_* being left behind.

Maybe I get a working CCC.exe again on the now on and off working Catalyst Control Center of my AMD vga-cards.
OS's used: Windows 10 Pro (x64) 1607 <-> Windows 7 Ult (x64) <-> Windows 8.1 Ult (x64) <-> Windows 2012 Essentials R2 (x64)
Avast Internet Security (sub for 10 PC's), HPM.Alert, Malwarebytes, Asus-x99 Deluxe/U3.1 (Intel Core i7 X980 EE - 64Gb Ram - NVidia Geforce x980 - Samsung PCI-e 950Pro 512 SSD), Microsoft Surface Pro 4 (6th Gen Intel Core i7 CPU - 16Gb Ram - 512 SSD)
When installing Avast! be sure to use the custom install... never the default!

Just look under the main software sections and systemwow64 if your using 64 bit

Those "legacy" keys are made by Windows itself - and Windows also removes them (after a while).

Deleted the Legacy-Keys succesfully with "regedt32.exe" before I made a clean install of version 6.
Then you can change the user-rights for these keys an delete them directly. ;)

I never saw this behavior... Legacy keys are kept forever in all my personal experiences...
