IOBIT is one of the most useless bits of rubbish ware I have ever seen. One if its well known features is to stop safe programs from running! I hope you didn't pay for it! You did? Oh well. Yeah, I know it looks nice ... |

Thanks Rollo, I hope you have dried out and warmed up now. I have passed the message on and he thinks it is sorted, he'll go back to it tomorrow when he feels better - suffering after a bad tooth extraction. He has a suspicion that the guilty party is not Firefox but IOBIT. |

Avast is easily the best free AV and unlike AVG is not a memory hog. |

Start, then control panel, then programs, uninstall programs, wait for all programs to load then select the program you want and click Uninstall |

Uninstall it from Control Panel or use the free version of Advanced SystemCare. |

My OH has downloaded or tried to download Avast as suggested in a Webuser magazine instead of AVG. It seems to have corrupted firefox but I think he can sort that out. What he can't find how to do is to delete Avast. Any ideas. He is pretty PC literate but this has got him flummoxed. |
