How to rid computer of AVAST.
---had Avast antivirus but boot times were too long.
So I did a Complete Uninstall which claimed to get it gone. BUT, boot times were still too long so I checked Task Manager and ---it was Avast running! I did a "search" and found several Avast files but they wont accept "delete" nor can I move them to the recycle bin or rename them. How do I get rid of this dammed thing? --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. http://www.avast.com

I think you are, making inane remarks like this. If you had been around long enough to be aware of the OP's history here you wouldn't think the remarks were inane. Anything that guy posts is suspect.
