Hi:
Avast has a removal tool, you are supposed to run the tool in safe mode. When avast was on my computer I ran the tool anyway and it removed Avast. I am just sharing what I did. In safee mode there is know speech. Have a good day.

There is a registry patch for 7 and XP to have
audio in safe mode, and I have heard that 10 gives audio in safe
mode.
I have had a video error from Jaws in safe mode,
but it still works for the basic things.

The Avast removal tool used to be accessible,
but the last 2 times I tried to use it, it didn't work like it did in the
past. I needed for my wife to do the removal for me. Below are the
steps for when it was accessible if you want to try them. Read the steps
thoroughly first. Also, below is the direct download link for the
tool.
1. Press enter on
the, AvastClear, .EXE file.
2. You will get
the following message:
Avast Antivirus
Clear
It is recommended to run this tool from Windows Safe Mode. Do you want to do that? Press "Yes" to reboot into Safe Mode now and run this tool from there. Press "No" to continue running this tool as it is (not recommended). Yes No 3. Tab to the, No
button, & press enter or spacebar. Now press the spacebar on the,
Uninstall button, to start the uninstall process as Administrator. After
Avast is uninstalled you should get a prompt to restart the computer. When
the computer reboots you can check to see if any remnants of the program are
left behind. The 1 time I used this removal tool the only remnant I found
left behind was an Avast folder in the Program Files, & Program Data folders
on the root of the C drive, but I did not check the
registry.
Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Go dodgers! No one has more to say than the woman who says she doesn't want to talk about it. ----- Original Message -----

I had Avast years ago, and I don’t know if this has changed, but one used to have to go into safe mode in order to get it out. I had to have sighted assistance. I went to Best Buy, and they got it off, but have decided not to use it again, for that reason.

That’s wonderful if audio will kick in in safe mode. I think I had Windows Vista when trying to remove Avast. I would be afraid to get in safe mode and not be able to get back out again, but that’s just my lack of knowledge showing.

Hi. Avast? I wouldn't touch that puppy with a thousand-foot pole; Defender can do better and it's built in too.

Not really, it's what you get for not being careful during the installation process. Many sites or programs have some cost-deferral arrangements with commercial vendors to help defray costs of their programs, particularly free ones, so there are checkboxes by default that are checked on many download sites.

When you are going through the process, you need to verify that you only have the box checked for the program you want; otherwise, you will install unwanted programs like this anti-virus program, or google toolbars, etc. Steve ----- Original Message -----

JAWS does not recognize the check box in the standard CCleaner install dialog that causes Avast to be installed by default. Neither does Unchecky.?? The only sure way to prevent Avast from being installed along with CCleaner is to install the slim version of CCleaner, which does not come with any other unwanted software:

Is there a way to put in your registration information into the slim version? How do you get into the browser monitoring and tell it what to delete for what browser?

Hi Dennis,
I'm not going to be very exact, but
maybe close! LOL First, I don't have a clue as how to register their
Pro version, but I wouldn't waste my money on their Pro version. When
you're in Cleaner mode and you Tab to the, Windows screen, this is where
the settings are for IE11, but when you Tab to the Windows screen, and right
arrow to the, Applications screen, this is where you make the settings changes
for any other browser.
Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Go dodgers! If at first you DO succeed, try not to look astonished! ----- Original Message -----
