anyone know how to remove that bad bouy??
thanks G
What do you mean…??
Choose another screensaver into Windows settings.
Thats not my point!! 
but thanks anyways
I want it removed…I did not ask for it or
put it there…so it has to go bye bye
Look in your screensaver section…avast! gives you one
you never asked for…LOL
Well, yes - I know.
But what’s your problem…??
Some like it and also use it.
No problemo…just a choice and I dont want need and did
not ask for a new screensaver!!
Don’t use it then.
I hear ya my brother and my point being
and I have stated several times now
DONT want it…did not ask to install it
and of all the savers in the whole wild world
its not the prettiest
see image all can be removed but little ol’ avast
But you did install avast, didn’t you…
Well, no idea what’s your problem with a 40kb file…???
Yes…I did install avast! anti-virus FREE
no where did I tick …select…or ask for a screensaver
for my pc!!
Yes…its not really the biggest or most important
thing I have on my mind on a lazy Sunday afternoon
in the middle of a great 85 degree day here in sunny
Kiezer Oregon…
- Well, the screensaver is included.
- Good. ;D
Maybe you can disable the avast self defense module (Troubleshooting tab of settings).
Delete the file.
But I’m almost sure that a repair/upgrade/reinstallation will bring it back.
The short answer is that it isn’t installed (as in running), it is just part of the overall avast installation, it is just an inert file, that if you wish to run screensaver scans, that is what is used. It is an avast scanning feature, the ability to have avast scan your system when the screen saver is running.
If you haven’t enabled a screensaver in windows and further still haven’t selected the avast screen saver then it won’t be run and that 40KB file will sit waiting on you to enable it.
Thanks for all the great info…
peace out to you all
Gordon
You’re welcome…!
Peace,
asyn
Gordon, one of the biggest reasons I have for loving avast! is the screensaver scan.
You have been warned. 
thank you J. I will put that on my todo listo
GOOD
Hayc59, did you ever get a working answer to removing the avastSS.scr from you comfuser?
I’m looking to do the same & although Avast support told me to go through the registry, they gave me a non-exising registry key to check; I’m still trying to get the correct info from them.
