Welcome to the forums, germane. 
Just for information …
avast nor any other program can not be removed from your CPU since it is not installed in the CPU which stands for Central Processing Unit. It is what makes the computer work. It is mounted on the motherboard inside the computer.
Programs are installed/stored on the Hard Drive of your computer and that is from where they must be removed. The Hard Drive is not installed on the motherboard but is installed in a drive bay.
Just follow Marc57’s advice above and let us know if you need farther help.
