Can't uninstall Avast Free Antivirus (tried suggested methods)

i tried normal uninstall… i tried Avastclear.exe (removal tool) with and without [safe mode]
repaired the software before each attempt uninstall
disabled Self-Protection before every attempt to uninstall

nothing seem to work … i just want to get rid of the software
to be able to try another antivirus or to stay without any

more info :
the uninstall of avast always seems to pause when uninstalling a file inside wsc_proxy.exe named (firewall)
everything looks good … you wouldn’t even know it stopped other than the fact that it spends hours not moving to other files

yea thanks that wasn’t it …
but turns out all i had to do is just delete wsc_proxy.exe from the avast folder in program files
i ran Avastclear.exe after that without [safe mode] and it’s gone

Interesting, thanks for the feedback.
