Never had a problem with your company and product until now. I can’t remove it. Once I get to the file, it tells me I don’t have administer permission to delete it. No matter what I try, it would allow me to change the permissions. All I get with this product are pop-ups for your product. I used to like your product, but no more. Starting to feel like a scam to me.
We don’t know what avast version you have ?
You have posted in a sub-forum unrelated to an avast version ‘Avast SafeZone Browser’.
How are you trying to remove it ?
From your description it doesn’t sound like you are using the standard Control Panel > Programs and Features to uninstall it.
If you try manually removing files you would normally be stopped by the avast self-defence module - but the message you mention seems unrelated to avast but the Operating System.
Try using the Control Panel > Programs and Features to uninstall it, if that doesn’t do it then:
- Download the avast! Uninstall Utility, avastclear.exe http://files.avast.com/iavs9x/avastclear.exe and save it to your HDD.
Run the avast! Uninstall Utility, it will request it be run from safe mode (and will handle the boot into safe mode), once complete reboot into normal mode.
