When attempt to uninstall Avast 7 by http://files.avast.com/iavs9x/avastclear.exe, it stops with error in the topic (after colon). In the error message, between “executable” and round brackets, the quoted path is denoted: “C:\Program Files\AVAST Software\Avast\Setup\Sfx\ (… don’t remember, but here was just one object, which name was similar to “avastsetup”, or so)”.
Searched on forum, found topic https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0 (by habitués’ advise). So, I create new service request in this topic. Logs are attached. What needs more? Please, help me to completely uninstall Avast!
