I wonder why you chose to uninstall Avast.. If your trial version is running out, you can go to avast website and get your license key for FREE in just a minute. It's very simple really.

However, if you're sure you want to remove it, and are facing problems.

Go to your regedit and remove the keys yourself.

Go to start> Run> type in regedit> HKEY_Local Machine> SOFTWARE >
find the entries for alwil.. and right click and delete that entry.

Do the same for HKEY_Current User... that should solve your problem.

:-)
I would still suggest you to register your avast instead. It's free and effective.

Just download aswclear.exe from avast website. It is the Avast uninstall utility. Restart ur comp to safe mode and open aswclear.exe. Choose what program u want to uninstall and proceed.
