My copy of Avast has become corrupt, and cannot be fixed. It is affecting XP to the extent that certain functions cannot be carried out.My computer has been checked for viruses with 3 programs and is completely free. I have tried to remove Avast with the add/remove program but it does not remove it. I did a repair installation of XP, but the first thing in the status bar is Avast with the warning -your system is unsecured.- May be Avast have a removal program? Please he[p.
