Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

Hellow eveyone out here… I have installed avast home free edition… after i uninstalled it… i was unable to remove two registry values in “run” key… even i delete it… it get’s included automatically… help me out guys/gals here

What values are they?

You can use avast! 4 Uninstall to clean any Registry file or file into avast4 folder left behind after the uninstallation.
But, like Igor thought, it’s strange that self-replication windows keys belongs to avast ::slight_smile:
Btw, why are you uninstalling?

4

Looks like system restore (or some reg protector) is placing them back…?

5

Hellow,

C:\PROGRA~1\ALWILS~1\Avast4\ashDisp.exe
C:\PROGRA~1\ALWILS~1\Avast4\ashmaisv.exe
These r the two values … gets added even i remove them from “run” key in the registry… plz help me out

6

did you uninstall or just remove/delete files/folders?

7

i uninstalled it … i didn’t remove the program folder… i used avast 4 clear also… but still tat registry value is left… and gets added again and again

8

strange??? can you remove it in safe mode maybe? :-
if that doesn`t work them re-install/uninstall again. :slight_smile:

muthu, you asked me by IM and I asnwered you…
Did it help? (disabling avast services)?

Do you have any other antivirus installed in your computer?
Did you take an on-line scanning (look: http://www.security-ops.tk/)

muthu, are you saying that you uninstalled avast! (i.e. its program folder should be basically empty) and the registry values still reappear after you delete them? ???

I don’t see any way how avast! could do that (when it’s uninstalled already). Do you use any “startup-tweaking” program that may put them back?

  • Disable system restore
  • Reboot
  • Remove those entries
  • Reboot
  • Did they come back?
  • Are you using a registry protector (ad-/spyware detector or something simulair)
