Jahk Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 How to remove? Windows 7, Program and Features, clicked "Uninstall", 3 options shown, clicked Modify and it loaded on a reboot after a hard close trying to get out of it. Tis called Malware where I searched for "removal" online. CCleaner gave it to me, I want it gone. Please help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators hazelnut Posted August 30, 2018 Moderators Share Posted August 30, 2018 Click to UNINSTALL it in Programs and Feature. Don't click modify. If it still won't uninstall then use this tool from Avast. Follow the instructions. https://www.avast.com/en-gb/uninstall-utility Support contact https://support.ccleaner.com/s/contact-form?language=en_US&form=general or support@ccleaner.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahk Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 Thank You! The "Uninstall" button did not appear as an option on their screen. So, I found and download their Clear utility program, with some trepidation, but it appears to have worked, knock on wood (tapping head). Online claims liking Avast to Malware had me searching for other options. But ... Hopefully, the intruder has been fully removed! Again, thank You!

Moderators mta Posted September 4, 2018 Moderators Share Posted September 4, 2018 @Marotz what makes you think Avast is malware, is it doing something malicious on your PC? have you ran scans both from within Avast and by another independent program, say MalwareBytes, to confirm your PC is clean? Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.

Jahk Posted September 5, 2018 Author Share Posted September 5, 2018 As I posted re: "Malware": "Online claims liking Avast to Malware ..." . It has been removed, as far as I can tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
