Same way you are supposed to remove all Windows programs....Control Panel>>Add/Remove Programs, or Control Panel>>Programs & Features, depending on your OS.

If that does not work, use the uninstall utility in safe mode>>http://www.avast.com/uninstall-utility

With that finished, now you can get a real virus and learn the difference between an invasive/malfunctioning antivirus program and something that installs rootkits and sends out your passwords. :P

That's strange, I've used avast! since 2003 and count the number of requests to convert on one hand.
Are you sure you're using the same program I am ???
