The dates on the numerous Avast files confirm it was downloaded today. I had earlier reinstalled CCleaner v5.43 to do a bit of testing, obviously Avast/Piriform sneaked it in there. WTF has that been sneaked onto my machine from? There's always that uninstall utility if needed.Įarlier today I noticed in task manager that 'Avast remediation exe' was running on my laptop. Looks like I've got it all because it never installed, time to wait and see. (Or may not, I didn't want anything Avast in the first place). Looks like I may have dodged a bullet there, especially as I was doing various restarts during my testing.ĭeleted it from C:\program files, and C\program data.ĭid a search of 'This PC' for anything 'Avast' and deleted those.Īnd may then run the Avast Uninstall Utility.

I'm guessing that Avast needs you to click that desktop Icon, or do a restart to run that file, to fully install it. It's not showing in the task manager, but looking in CCleaner there was a file in 'start-up' called something like ".avast-repair" with a /wait parameter - this entry was quickly deleted. Looking in Apps & features (and in the old style Control Panel) Avast is not showing as an installed application. The icon has the name "avast_free_antivirus_setup_online" Having finished my testing I noticed an orange blob on my desktop, I've been Avast-d for the first time ever. I was using different CC installer versions that I have saved on my laptop. Today I've been trying to track down a software clash, part of which involved installing different versions of CCleaner.
