removing avast v8 via cmd prompt--cross posted from the "blackscreen" thread

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

I find myself a member of the select group of people that have been negatively affected by avast v8
I’ll be blunt in saying that I want to remove avast via my cmd prompt, but aren’t able to.

configuration:
Alienware M5790 (laugh if you must, but after I dumped Vista, things actually started making sense again…)
32-bit Win 7 Pro SP1
Processor is an Intel-Core 2 Duo 1.83GHz T5600 2MB 667 MHz , GPU is ATI X1800, W/ 6GB RAM
e-net connection via router to wireless 3G/4G modem
Windows firewall is installed, but not currently running
I have had nothing but avast since v3 was released.

when booting into safe mode, I see the two asw*.sys drivers at the bottom of the list.
when I go into cmd prompt, I can’t figure out how to get the programs to show up. the streaming list that pops up when I run “dr\p” doesn’t help much.
anyone who has 32-bit Win 7 Pro & successfully dealt w/ this is welcome to post.

thanks

Why do you need to do it from the command prompt? I.e. what not simply go to Control Panel / Programs and Features and start the uninstallation from there? (or, using the uninstallation tool downloaded from avast! web?)

If all you are running is dr\p, you won’'t see Avast. Run this first: cd %programfiles%, and then dr\p.

that would imply that I can see/use my desktop after I login. I can’t. Please see the blackscreen stickie at the top of the page for more info.
