[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1040891, member: 176704"] I think I have now pretty much got rid of Avast Free after a couple of sessions of Regedit - one in Normal Mode and one in Safe Mode - as well as removing the Avast folder in c:\Programmes, and it does not shown up in Control Panel Programmes & Features or in Task Manager. System Mechanic Analyser found a few broken links in the Registry and fixed/eliminated them. However, I still get a very brief and blank Splash screen as the m/c boots into the Desktop, and so I think there is still "something" there somewhere - also some drivers are probably left in the System 32 folder and I will eliminate them in due course when I find out exactly which ones I should look for.
