Hello Mr. Steve N,

Thanks a lot for the info.

I did as you suggested, first deleted the registry entries, than on reboot, the services disappeared.

Despite that there are still around 70 plus invalid Avast entries, which I didn’t delete. (Found by just typing Avast, search System registry.)

Than using search looked for all Avast related files & deleted them.

I very particular about my machine, don’t like junk files/ clutter on my drives or invalid registry entries, even if the OS is working error free.

That is the reason that I immediately create a Ghost image after a fresh install of the OS, soft wares & their respective updates.

Any how at least I have learnt how to remove an un required 3rd party service.

Once again thanks,
Regards!


Great news, Yezinki, I am so glad my advice was helpful to you!

Happy computing!

Steve N.
