"Being Greatly Bugged by AVAST Popups."


          

Hi, Gang!

What's with Avast lately? I finally uninstalled Avast Free, hoping that would stop the relentless pop-ups pushing the paid version (or???). I'm thinking it's about time for a close look at the registry (when I uninstalled I used Revo Uninstaller set to the highest intensity of system cleaning).


Any suggestions?

The last couple times or so, CCleaner has tried to sneak in Avast by pre-checking a small-print box to include it with CCleaner's download.

Perhaps you inadvertently re-loaded it when/if you updated CCleaner.

So, recheck Revo to see if Avast has returned. If it hasn't, search for Avast files and delete them, then run CCleaner's Registry Cleaner, or another safe registry cleaner, then reboot.

Jim.

I'm running Avast free. I do get popups, but no more than about 1 every 10 days.
