How to remove the Site Rating icon at top right of my browser?

[Lisandro]

Just uninstall WebRep... Or change your existing installation through Control Panel.

ditto on the apologies for dragging this up again but now ive got the silly web rating thing aswell and want rid of it.
My days of raving and wanting neon accessories are way behind me and i only visit main stream sites so have no need of it (plus i run addblock+no script which hides the worst).



Ive tried - 'Start, Control Panel, Add or Remove programs' but there is no 'WebRep' listed there to remove/delete (i rechecked 3 times without seeing it - is that the right place to look?)

*ive even tried looking on the avast user panel incase there was a 'control panel' button there that people meant but cant see one there either so im stumped.


I did a search on my computer and found
-aswWerRepIE.dll - C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast5
-WebRep (folder) - C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast5
-AswWebRepChrome.crx - C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast5\WebRep\Chrome
-AswWebRepChrome.ver - C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast5\WebRep\Chrome


Can i just find those and delete them indivually?? Will that work?


This is the first thing that ive even come close to complaining about, the rest of the time its been nothing but compliments and recommendations about avast.


Cheers all!

cheers ... im taking a guess that its GUI is the Avast user interface?

Settings, Community and unticking the bottom two 'community features' things?
1 show avast! recommendation features
2 show social networking features

I will try a reboot now and see if that fgets rid of it - if it doesnt then i dont understand what or where you mean but thanks for the quick reply and trying to help

I cannot get into the GUI so please, can someone tell me how to get rid of the damned thing before I completely delete Avast??

zia start your own thread please.
Not getting in the gui is what should be solved first.
