Thanks for clearing that up. I realised that this morning - it was 0030 here at the time of my post :
I will continue to monitor this thread as I am extremely concerned about the whole concept of these types of applications that are developed by reputable organisations.
After further thought, in defence (??!) of Avast, it may have been an oversight in the compiling of the installer/uninstaller of Avast AntiVirus Free. However, it highlights the topics in my aforementioned comments about malware and ‘trojan horse’ viruses i.e. software like Avast Overseer having similar ‘functions’ to these types of ‘software’
I understand that my experience with Avast may not be what is experienced by other users, e.g. ‘SILENT installation’ in my previous post. And, may in fact be unique to users of a particular version of CCleaner.
I will update the forum, and quite possibly Avast themselves through another channel.
