When I upgraded from version 5.x to 6.x of Avast free, it installed a useless Windows desktop gadget in my sidebar that I don't want, and it installed it there without even asking me. So I closed it. But the next time I booted up the PC, the gadget came back. So I went to the Windows control panel, opened up the Desktop Gadgets section, and uninstalled the Avast gadget.
And the dam thing STILL came back.
That's right, it's not listed in as installed when I look in my gadget's window, but it still insists on starting itself whenevr I boot my PC.
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Interrogative, AVAST!
Who's decision was it to include this craptastic gadget with version 6.0, and where do I send the angry mob armed with torches and pitchforks?
My setup is:
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate sp1 x64
Motherboard: ASUS P6T Deluxe
CPU: Core i7 940
Oh, and if you could tell me how to get rid of this farking sidebar gadget, I'd appreciate it.
