I installed a time limited version of avast on my laptop I uninstalled it and even used add/remove programs to completely remove it then i went in and manually removed the directories etc left behind through windows explorer then i downloaded a third party uninstaller and it found some avast files and removed those but i still get a splash screen on boot up saying avast time out that has a menu of upgrade purchase or uninstall select uninstall and it asks if im sure hit ok it dose nothing next boot up same thing
dont know what to do next other than reformating the drive and reinstalling xp
system is a dell c840 1 gig ram 20 gig drive running xp sp3 home edition
ive checked the taskmanager and found nothing unusual have run all kinds of cleaners and reg fix but everything stays the same…
Have you tried installing and uninnstalling again?
