Cant uninstall Avast icon in tray.

I uninstalled Avast Internet Security after having a problem but the Avast icon in my tray wasnt uninstalled so I cant reinstall the program. Ive tried the Avast uninstall tool and other methods and so far none have been successful. Has anyone any other ideas how I can uninstall the icon. Thanks.

did you run it from safe mode ?

try to terminate avast 1st from process manager, then try uninstalling again.

The avast self-defence module is likely to get in the way as it protects against process modification/termination.

So as Pondus mentions, you need to run the aswclear.exe from safe mode.

What would help is why didn’t it work, e.g. what errors were displayed, etc. ?
