Hello Thomasxz,

This question has been asked a million times here and I myself didn't know at first how to get rid of this gadget permanently. Thanks to this forum I found the solutionHere's the solution:
Open Windows Control Panel and choose Programs and Features (Windows 7). In the software list select avast and double click on it. Select Change and deselect the gadget box. That's all.

Hi thomasxz, welcome to the forum :)

There have been a couple of threads about this, so you are not alone :)
Seems a bug...

The way to remove it would be to uninstall it:

...
Avast Gadget removal - 1. Control panel -> Programs and Features -> avast! -> Change -> uncheck the box "avast! gadget"

- OR -

2. right-click the desktop, select Gadgets, right-click the avast! gadget and select Uninstall (not as it seems in this case).

Gadet Avast (avast 6.0.1000) not visible in windows with gadets. You can only uninstall through the control panel. The beta versions can be uninstalled through the window gadgets. It should be an option when installing the interrogative, or install the gadget.
