I used my non-micorosft uninstaller to remove avast antivirus. I am left with 74 DLL´s, that are write protected and my deletedr 2.1, first time has not been able to delete the 74 dll´s. My regedit, when open shows Awil, and all associated keys have no value. Reinistallation will not work. Tried many times and have given up.

Please, any one know how I can remove the one blue ball in my tray that STILL opens the scanner, that will not scan, as there are no values in the registry for Avast, in the registry of my system. Plus the dll´s, plus non-authorized AVAST screensavers, that keeps coming back even after removal.

I can right click on the blue ball in the tray and open the scanning screen. The scan will not work because only some of the dll´s were removed by my uninstaller.

AVAST, still tries to send updates and I am getting no support from them at all. Caused a serious conflict, attempts to download AVAST, fail when I attempt to reinstall, Tried installing other antivirus, and I am asked to remove AVAST. And I am unable to remove the 70 plus fragments left. (I once tested Nortons, and was able to remove all 375 registry keys left behind of removal of Nortons with regedit on a manual basis. Not with AVAST, they are write protected.

Please any one knows of any sofware that will delete a write protected file, with over 70 dll´s in the file. I need antivirus.

Thanks,

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP, UNLOCKER STILL WILL NOT UNLOCK THE AVAST FILE THAT CONTAINS 70 PLUS DLL´S.

MIND DOCTORIf you're sure nothing is going to access the file in question with the DLL's, then...

you might boot to safe mode and try DELETING it.

Also, when you said reinstallation will not work, you meant the 'repair' function option?THANKS YOU BOTH FOR YOUR SUPPORT. I WAS ABLE TO FIND A AVAST UNINSTALLER TOOL, AND IT WOULD NOT WORK, BECAUSE IT WAS NECESSARY FOR ME TO DISABLE THE SECURE RESIDENT PROTECTION IN ONE OF MANY BLUE AVAST BALLS THAT WERE IN THE ALWIL FILE WHEN YOU OPEN.

I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO OPEN THE CORRECT ICON OUT OF 70 DLL´S PLUS AND FIND SETTINGS, TROUBESHOOTING AND DISABLE THE SECURE RESIDENT SETTING.

WENT INTO A SAFE MODE AND THEIR UNINSTALLER, TOOL WORKED EVEN THOUGH BLUE AVAST BALL IN MY TRAY WAS ALSO CORRUPT ALONG WITH THE ENTIRE INSTALLATION.

AGAIN I THANK YOU BOTH FOR YOUR KIND SUPPORT AND SUGGESTIONS.

EXCUSE MY ENGLISH, NOT MY PRIMARY LANGUAGE.

DR. HUBERT H. NO NEED FOR CAPS!!!!!!!

Yea, unlocker should work, I don't know why it isn't working for you.



NO MORE CAPS!To all the good people that offered their advice and help I thank you.

The post can be closed out, because I resolved the problem. In one of the many AVAST BALLS, included with the 70 plus dll´s, in the AVAST file, was a setting and I lucked out with the very first blue ball I opened there was a setting in the ball that allowed me to open configuration and disable AVAST SAFETY BACKGROUND SCANNER, before unlocker would work. (Although my own personal uninstaller had removed parts of AVAST that was corrupted when installed).

Went into a safe mode and performed the task with unlocker and a reboot that removed all the 70 plus dll´s in the one file.

Thanks again as my deletedr. 2.1 failed to do what UNLOCKER did.

NEVER have I seen any software with every dll ¨write protected¨.

My computer is now free 100% of AVAST.
